1、陳述句中肯定句變為否定句，大部分是用not來改變謂語結構，但也有借用否定意義的詞，如nothing, nobody, none, neither, little, few, never, hardly等，例如：：
A：Tom does well in maths. B：Tom doesn’t do well in maths.
A：He has much to do. B：He has nothing to do.
A：All of my classmates like art. B：None of my classmates likes art.
2、改為疑問句。根據上下句的結構和詞的減少，來判斷變為哪一種形式的疑問句。例如：

A：Tom’s already weak in English. B：Tom’s already weak in English, isn’t he ?
A：The red light changes every two minutes. B：How often does the red light change?
3、改為感嘆句。根據所給的句子結構和單詞的詞性，來確定使用哪一種感嘆句的形式，例如：
A：This is an interesting book. B：What an interesting book this is! 或 How interesting this book is!

2、同義句型之間的轉化。常見的同義句型有①It seems that 從句→Somebody seems（to be）+adj/n ②It’s kind of sb. to do…→Somebody is kind to do… ③What does…mean?→What do you mean by…?或What’s
the meaning of…?④There is something wrong with…→Something is wrong with… ⑤not…until…與when/after/before引導的時間狀語從句的轉換 ⑥What’s wrong with…?→What’s the matte with…? ⑦How is…?→What’s…like…?⑧How do

A：Fish can’t live if there is no water. B：Fish can’t live without water.
4、現在完成時態中的一句多譯。在現在完成時態中，結束性動詞不能與時間段連用，必須改成相應的延續性動詞。常見的動詞轉換有：buy-have, borrow-keep, die-be dead, open-be open, join-be in+組織/be a +成員, begin-be on, leave-be away from, close-be closed, arrive in/ get to/ come/go to-be in/at, finsh-be over, go to sleep-be asleep，get up-be up.

A：Could you tell me how I can get to the railway station? B：Could you tell me how to get to the railway station?
A：We don’t know what we should do next. B：We don’t know what to do next.
②由when/after/before/while/since/until引導的時間狀語從句可轉化為when/after/before/while/sine/until + doing…

A：Mr Smith has taught English since he came to China. B：Mr Smith has taught English since coming to China.
When sb. +be+數詞+years old→at the age of+歲數
A：When he was twelve years old, Edison started writing his own newspaper.
B：At the age of twelve, Edison started writing his own newspaper.
③由so…that…引導的結果狀語從句可轉化為too…to do或…enough to do……例如：

或：The box isn’t light enough for me to carry.
A：The child is so old that he can go to school. B：The child is old enough to go to school.

A：I haven’t seen a TV play for long, and Lily hasn’t either. B：Neither I nor Lily has seen a TV play for long.
A：Tom is good at maths, and he is good at French, too. B：Tom is good at both maths and French.
neither…nor…, either…or…和not only…but also…連接兩個主語時，謂語動詞依靠近它的主語而定，即“就近原則”，但是both…and用來連接兩個主語時，謂語復數。
7、主動語與被動語態的互變。 “主動”變“被動”實行“三變二不變”原則�！叭儭奔词侵髡Z，謂語和賓語的變化，“二不變”即時態不變，句式不變。例如：
A：They make watches in the town. B：Watches are made by them in the town.
A：I can finish the work before eight. B：The work can be finished（by me）before eight.
A：Do they grow rice in South China? B：Is rice grown in South China?

A：I saw him take your umbrella. B：He was seen to take your umbrella.
