B2 First - Key Word Transformations Exercises

First certificate in english (fce).

  • B2 First quick links:
  • Use Of English
  • Back to the B2 First main page

The final part of the Use of English paper is Key Word Transformations. A sentence followed by a key word and a second sentence which has a gap in it. You have to use the key word to complete the second sentence so that it means the same as the first sentence.

4. I regret not speaking to Marge sooner. had I wish ______________________________ sooner.

Key Word Transformations Exercise 1 Exercise Number: FCE018

Key Word Transformations Exercise 2 Exercise Number: FCE019

Key Word Transformations Exercise 3 Exercise Number: FCE020

Each question is marked in two halves and it's perfectly possible to get one whole point in the exam just for getting a single word correctly, even if you don't know the other words to put in the gap. So you should always give every question a try.

Key Word Transformations Exercise 11 Exercise Number: FCE028

Key Word Transformations Exercise 12 Exercise Number: FCE029

Key Word Transformations Exercise 13 Exercise Number: FCE030

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!

The most common grammatical topics covered in Key Word Transformations are:

Key Word Transformations Exercise 23 Exercise Number: FCE040

Key Word Transformations Exercise 24 Exercise Number: FCE041

Key Word Transformations Exercise 25 Exercise Number: FCE042

Key Word Transformations Exercise 26 Exercise Number: FCE043

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.

How many ways can you write this sentence:

Mr. Jones made us stay late because we arrived late.

Here are a few:

We were made to stay late by Mr. Jones because we arrived late. Mr. Jones forced us to stay late because we arrived late. We were forced to stay late by Mr. Jones because we arrived late. Mr. Jones made us stay late because of our lateness. and so on...

Key Word Transformations Exercise 28 Exercise Number: FCE045

Key Word Transformations Exercise 29 Exercise Number: FCE248

Key Word Transformations Exercise 30 Exercise Number: FCE249

Key Word Transformations can be time-consuming. Keep an eye on the clock and don't spend too long on any single item. If you are stuck, you should move on and return later if time allows.
