You're definitely fluent if you can change these. | Advanced (C1 + C2) Grammar

Get a PDF copy of the lesson to help you remember these sentence transformations.

Let's practice some advanced (C1 + C2) sentence transformations.

This activity is referred to as a key word sentence transformation exercise. I will give you a sentence along with a word, and I want you to use the word to create a new sentence that has the same meaning.

It is a great way to test your English fluency because you need to use both grammar and vocabulary when changing the sentences.

Take the quiz and let me know how you do.

I haven't practiced my English for 20 years, but still I managed to rephrase about 50% of the quiz. I'm proud of my self 😊

I've never done this exercise before and I absolutely loved it! It was a little challenging, but not too hard :)
Would love to see more of these in the future

When it comes to content, you always set the bar much higher than other online English teachers here on YT. Your video content is always educational, informative and well-structured. You’re an effective teacher and just truly awesome. Thank you for what you do.

Love it - I did good in English and I'm here for 20 years. I'm learning Italian and absolutely love the idea of reaching fluentcy by refrasing sentences with keeping the meaning. It's truly motivational! Thanks 👍

I have watched this outstanding video and realised that there is yet a lot to learn to use collocations and advanced phrases. Some people say that they make your speech mechanical but if you can use them properly, your fluency definitely increase

Agree??

Hi Wes! I nailed them all but the last one...in italian we say that we got off bed with the wrong foot, when we are in a bad mood and behave unpleasantly on that day. Thank you for this quiz, I'm longing for more stuff at this level.I'm 69 and a retired doctor. I've been keen on practising english for all my life, for the sheer beauty of it, while never studying it at school( thanks God, considering the teaching methods in italian school...) and I used my language skills just for vacationing abroad. Listening to lessons online ( with headphones) is precious to me, as my hearing is severely impaired. Thank you again, bye!

[landriknansong]

What a great lesson !
I've learned a lot. It'll definitely help us to improve our paraphrasing skills.
keep continuing in that manner and more lessons like this.

[marinasemuhina]

[Cochita]

[aliceyoung]

Thank you so much i am a older woman but i am learning things i didn't learn in school, so i really appreciate this .

[PatriciaRodriguez-hkbv]

Thank you, Professor Wes. I liked your class a lot.
Honestly, some words and structures were new to me.
I am not definitely fluent in English, but I am continuing to practice in order to improve, and you have helped me a lot.
Again, thank you very much.

[gianlucac.]

Awesome session! It was challenging, as well, and that's good because you need to get out of your comfort zone in order to learn and progress
