Advanced Use of English Practice & Feedback : transformations

The primary feature of Advanced English means knowing different ways of saying the same thing, aka as "range". One effect of this is that when a word changes, so do other elements of the sentence which is what we explore in this exercise. 

Prior to the session, we send you Advanced-level exercises, testing your knowledge of the structures or vocabulary or usages, for you to complete. During the one-hour single-topic session, we review the answers and then discuss those questions with which participants had difficulties and, depending on time, other topics which may arise.
