Interchange of Parts of Speech Transformation of Sentence: The Basics

Transformation of Sentence: Interchange of Parts of Speech

You surely already know there are eight parts of speech in the English language. Out of the eight parts of speech only noun, verb, adjective and adverb — these four are interchangeable. Pronoun, preposition, conjunction and interjection cannot be transformed in this way. And, in any “transformation of sentence” or “do as directed” grammar exercise, interchange of parts of speech is what you should expect to face quite often. Followings are the kinds of interchanges we commonly see in use —

1. Noun – verb

The poet gives an emphasis on this word. – The poet emphasises this word.

He gave us advice. – He advised us.

He did not get success. – He did not succeed.

2. Noun – adjective

In all probability, it will rain today. – It is most probable that it will rain today.

The teacher punished the boy for disobedience. – The teacher punished the disobedient boy.

3. Noun – adverb

In all probability, he will pass this year. – Most probably he will pass this year.

She joined us with much enthusiasm. – She joined us very enthusiastically.

4. Adjective – adverb

It is most probable that it will rain today. – Most probably it will rain today.

He was enthusiastic while going there. – He went there enthusiastically.

5. Verb – adjective

Mr. Roy suspected his peon’s honesty. – Mr. Roy was suspicious of his peon’s honesty.

Mr. Sen accepted my offer. – My offer was acceptable to Mr. Sen.
