Cae Key Word Transformations

This document provides examples of key word transformations, where a keyword in one sentence is replaced to form a new sentence with a similar meaning. Some keywords are replaced with synonyms to change verbs, adjectives, or nouns while maintaining the overall meaning. Other transformations change the grammatical structure of the sentence, such as changing it from active to passive voice. The 40 examples demonstrate how modifying a single word can significantly change a sentence while retaining comprehensibility.
