Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "every" with "yearly" which is an adjective derived from the noun "year". This maintains the same meaning in the sentence.
2. how long is it?
what's its
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "long" with "length". Since "length" is a noun derived from the adjective "long", we can use it to maintain the same meaning. The contraction "it's" is used to combine "it is" into one word.
3. the old man is still full of energy.
he is still a very lold man.
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "full" with "energetic". Both words have the same root "energy" but different forms (adjective and noun). Adding the word "very" maintains the same level of intensity in the sentence.
4. do you think the answer is satisfactory?
are you with the answer?
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "satisfactory" with "satisfied". Both words have the same root "satisfy", but "satisfied" is an adjective which fits the context of the sentence. Changing the sentence structure by replacing "think" with "are" maintains the same meaning.
5. the soup you have cooked tastes delicious.
the soup you have cooked is really very tasty.
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "delicious" with "tasty". Both words have the same root "taste". Adding the intensifiers "really" and "very" maintain the same level of intensity in the sentence.
6. there was a heavy fall of snow yesterday.
it snowed heavily yesterday.
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the phrase "a heavy fall of snow" with the word "heavily". Both convey the same idea of a large amount of snow. Changing the sentence structure by replacing "there was" with "it" maintains the same meaning.
7. he has won the contest!
he is the winner of the contest!
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "won" with "winner". Both words have the same root "win". This transformation changes the sentence from past tense to present tense.
8. my parents love me very much.
mine are loving parents.
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "love" with "loving". Both words have the same root "love". This transformation changes the sentence from a general statement to a specific description.
9. my friend composes music.
my friend is a composer.
Transformation: We can transform the sentence by replacing the word "composes" with "composer". Both words have the same root "compose". This transformation changes the sentence to a noun form, describing the friend's profession.
