- (FCE) 40 Key Word Transformation: Exercises
- B2 First (FCE) Use of English Part 4: Tips & Strategy
The important thing in key word transformations is that you keep the meaning the same – EXACTLY the same. So it’s important that you read through the first sentence and your second sentence to ensure you have kept the meaning the same. Look at these two sentences:
Tommy said he was ready for his driving test and would take it in July.
Tommy said he was ready for his driving test and could take it in July.
One letter has been changed, from “would” to “could” but it changes the meaning of the sentence totally. Be careful of this!
A good way to practise this part of the FCE exam is to get used to writing and re-writing sentences using different structures and without changing the meaning.

B2 First (FCE) Use of English Part 4: Tips & Strategy
B2 First (FCE) Use of English: Part 4 question type here is called key word transformation.
You must complete a new sentence that has a similar meaning. You use a word in capitals given in bold for each sentence, which you must not change.
Strategy
- Read the sentence carefully and think about its exact meaning.
- Check your tenses – if the first sentence is in the past tense, the second should be, too!
- Contractions (e.g. haven’t) count as two words.
- Try to keep the same meaning – If the first sentence says ‘Tom said…’ then don’t write ‘He said…’ in the second sentence. (Write ‘Tom said’.)
- Write between two and five words, including the word given.
Tips
Find things that are the same in both sentences and delete them. That helps you to focus on what you actually need to be transforming.
Because of the scoring system, it’s possible to get 50% in this section without getting any of the questions 100% correct. So it’s worth answering every question! Even incomplete answers can get points
Make absolutely sure that the two sentences mean the same thing. For example, if the sentence to transform has names in it, the answer will have to have them too.

Key word transformations – вид упражнений, направленных на проверку умения употреблять структуры и фразы с определённым заданным содержанием. Проверяется это умение на уровне предложения, так что умение строить предложение с тем же смыслом затрагивает не только форму слова, но всё разнообразие структур с данным словом. Обычно в условии указывается количество слов, которые нужно употребить (не более пяти, от трёх до шести). Кроме лексических структур в key word transformations участвуют также глагольные словосочетания.
Например, возьмём слово like и его эквивалент to be keen on.
My parents like classical music.
Для трансформации можно оставить предлог или, делая задание слишком очевидным, прилагательное keen. Получим:
My parents like classical music.
on
My parents are keen on classical music.
Иногда часть предложения для трансформации может быть изменена, что подразумевает употребление антонимов, как, например:
- It is quite difficult to stop smoking.
GIVE
It’s not very_________ smoking.
It’s not very easy to give up smoking.
Попробуйте свои силы на следующем небольшом упражнении, затем проверьте себя по ключу:
- I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your name.
REMEMBER
I’m sorry, but I_________ your name is. - I have never read a book by Salman Rushdie before this one.
TIME
This is the _______ a book by Salman Rushdie. - I was very disappointed that I couldn’t see the famous waterfalls.
ME
It was a____ that I couldn’t see the famous waterfalls. - Since my earliest memories, I have been interested in fashion.
CAN
For as long__ I have been interested in fashion. - I finished revising for this test a few minutes ago.
JUST
I’ve_____ for this test.
Keys:
- I’m sorry but I don’t remember what your name is.
- This is the first time I’ve read a book by Salman Rushdie.
- It was a disappointment for me that I couldn’t see the famous waterfalls.
- For as long as I can remember I have been interested in fashion.
- I’ve just revised for this test.
Очевидно, что при выполнении подобных упражнений нужно прежде всего вчитаться в исходное предложение, понять его смысл. Затем вспомнить все возможные структуры с данным словом, употребив ту из них, которая ближе всего по смыслу к исходному предложению.
