总所周知，语言是思想、情感交流的载体。相同的意思有时可以用不同的方式表达。了解并学会多种表达法，能更好地适应交际的需要。同义句转换也是中考常考题型。此类题型考生失分较大。下面小编告诉你英语同义句转换的方法，大家一起来看看吧!
一、运用同义词或同义词组
. 1. I got a letter from my brother last weekend.
= I heard from my brother last weekend.

= His little sister was able to dress herself at the age of three.
这类题目首先要注意比较上下两句，找出需要改动的地方，运用同义词或同义词组进行转换。还要注意把握两句的时态、数的单复和主谓一致等。

2初中英语同义句转换的几种类型
1运用同义词(组)进行转换
用同义词或同义词组对原句中的某些词或词组进行替换，注意转换后的词或词组的词形变化要与句子其他成分相适应。如:
1. That day we could see flowers here and there.
That day we could see flowers __________.
答案:everywhere
解析:everywhere与here and there都表示“到处”。
2. The teacher always takes good care of the children in the school.
The teacher always______ _____the children well in the school.
答案:looks after
解析:take good care of与look after…well都表示“好好照顾”。
2运用反义词(组)的否定式进行转换
即用反义词或词组的否定式表达与原句相同的意思，主要考查学生对反义词(词组)的积累和换位思维的能力。如:
1. It’s clear that this visit is different from last time.
It’s clear that this visit is not the___ ___last time.
答案:same as
解析:be different from意为“与……不同”;the same as意为“与……相同”，其否定式与be different from同义。
2. I think wealth is less important than health.
I ___ think wealth is ___ important than health.
答案:为don’t，more
解析:less important的意思是“没有(不及)……重要”;more important的意思是“(比)……更重要”，该结构与not连用，则表示“不比……更重要”。
另外，有的反义词即使不与否定词连用，而只需改变句子结构也可构成同义句。如:
He lent some money to his friend.
He friend ___ some money ___ him.
答案为borrowed，from
解析:borrow…from...意为“向……借……”;lend…to...意为“把……借给……”。两个结构意思相反，但若变换“借出者”与“借入者”的位置，则可转换为同义句。
3运用不同语态进行转换
即运用主动语态与被动语态的变化来转换同义词，但此时要特别注意时态、动词一致性。如:
1. Everyone should give back his library books on time.
Library books should____ ____ ____ on time.
答案:be given back
解析:被动句中含有情态动词should，因此助动词用be。
2. It is widely accepted that more people use computers in the world today.
It is widely accepted that computers ____ widely ___ in the world today.
答案为are，used
解析:computers是复数名词，助动词用are。
4非延续性动词与延续性动词的相互转换
即非延续性动词与延续性动词进行转换，此时往往会涉及时态的变化。如:
1. The manager left two hours ago.
The manager _____ ____ ____ for two hours.
答案:has been away
解析:leave为非延续性动词，不能与for two hours这样的一段时间连用，而改成be away这样的延续性动词后，则可连用一段时间。
2. The film began five minutes ago.
The film has been _____ _____ five minutes.
答案:on for
解析:has been提示时态是现在完成时态，“for 时间段”表示“持续(一段时间)”，常用在含有现在完成时态的句子里。
3. Mr Li joined the Party twenty years ago.
Mr Li _____ _____ _____ the Party for twenty years.
答案:has been in
解析:短暂动词join，意为“参加、加入(组织，政党)”，不能与延续时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将join改成be in或be a member in…。

3同义句转换的方法
(1)替换法。用同义词、同义短语、反义词或反义短语等办法来替换原句中的有关部分，使句意不变。
1)用同义词或同义短语替换(句后括号中的词为参考答案)。
①She got to China in 1950.
She____China in 1950.(reached)
②Be careful with your handwriting.
_____to your handwriting.(pay attention)
2)用反义词或反义短语替换。

3)用短语替换从句或用从句替换短语，例:

____，we went to school.(After，breakfast)
②We can’t finish the work without your help.
We can’t finish the work____you_____us.(if，don’t，help)
(2)转换法。
这种方法是用不同句型、句式、语态、引语等方法改写句子，使其意思相同。
1)句型转换(这种转换通常是用另一种句型替换原来的句型)。如:
①They have been in the army for ten years.
___ ____ten years____they joined the army.(It，is，since)
②The Great Pyramid is the biggest of all the Pyramid.
The Great Pyramid is____any other pyramid.(big-ger，than)
2)句式转换(这种转换通常是感叹句的转换或状语从句的转换等)。如:
He went to bed after he had finished his homework.
He___ ___to bed____he had finished hishomework.(didn’t，go，until)
3)语态转换(这种转换通常是主动语态变被动语态或被动语态变主动语态)。例如:
①They made her work fourteen hours a day.
She was____ ____ ____fourteen hours a day.(made，to，work)
②Why hasn’t anything been done to end the strike?
Why____ ____ ____anything to end the strike?(haven’t，they，done)
4)引语转换(这种转换是指直接引语变间接引语或间接引语变直接引语)。如:

4初中英语同义句转换精析
一:替代
用一个新的词、短语替代原句中有关部分。如:①I received a letter from Lucy . = I heard from Lucy . (receive a letter from →hear from ) ②I often walk to school every day . = I often go to school on foot. (walk →go on foot ) ③She decided to stop learning English . = She decided to give up English . (stop doing sth. →give up doing sth. )
用反义词来替代。如:④We are in different rows . = We aren’t in the same row . (different →same ) ⑤My bike is cheaper than yours . = Your bike is more expensive than mine . ( cheap →expensive ) 用反义词或反义短语来替换时，一般会有一个否定意义的词，如not , less , no , never , hardly 等。
二:合并句子
合并句子一般是通过并列连词将两个简单句合并为一句。常见的并列连词有:not only … but also , both … and , neither …nor, either … or 等。例如:⑥Mary didn’t go to the park . I didn’t , either . =Neither Mary nor I went to the park . ⑦Wei Hua may go to the cinema , or Ann may because there is only one ticket . = Either Wei Hua or Ann may go to the cinema because there is only one ticket . ⑧John has got a penfriend . Mike has got a penfriend , too . =Not only John but also Mike has got a penfriend . = Both John and Mike have got penfriends .
三:改写句子
通过能够表达同一意义的不同句型、句式、语态的转换，来达到改写句子的目的。具体可分为:
1、 复合句改为简单句。含宾语从句的复合句变简单句时，可用不定式改写，将宾语从句中的谓语动词变为不定式。如:⑨We all agree that we should leave at once . = We all agree to leave at once . ⑩Could you tell me when we will start ? = Could you tell me when to start ? 含宾语从句的复合句变简单句时，还可用复合宾语，即宾语加宾语补助语来改写。如:I saw he went into the room just now . = I saw him go into the room just now . Edison’s mother found that he was a clever boy . = Edison’s mother found him clever . We heard that she was singing in English . = We heard her singing in English .
2、含状语从句的复合句变简单句时，常用以下方法:以so…that 引导的结果状语从句常转换为 too … to 或enough to 结构。如:He is so young that he can’t go to school . = He is too young to go to school . = He isn’t old enough to go to school . 另外还可通过结构和语态的转换来改写。如:I can’t finish the work if you don’t help me . = I can’t finish the work without your help . = I can’t finish the work unless you help me . We use computers in many ways . = Computers are used in many ways .
句型间的转换，要求对能够表达同一意义的常用句型结构了解甚透。如: It took me two hours to finish my homework . = I spent two hours in finishing my homework . If you don’t hurry , you will be late . = Hurry up , or you’ll be late .
还可利用词性转换来改写。如:There was a heavy snow here last night . = It snowed heavily here last night . Uncle Wang invented the machine . = Uncle Wang was the inventor of the machine .
