（A）看清要求。既要看清大题要求，又要看清每小题的要求，题目要求变同义句，你不能变成非同义句；要求变反意疑问句，你就不能变成一般疑问句或选择疑问句。对于做第一种句型转换题，看清要求特别重要，因为括号中的要求可迅速把你的注意力集中在一个很具体的问题上。例如：
1把下列句子变为否定句。
①I did it yesterday．→I didn't do it yesterday．
②I think he's right．→I don't think he's right．
③Open the door，please．→Don't open the door，please．
2．把下列句子变成一般疑问句。
①He likes reading．→Does he like reading？
②They had a nice time yesterday．→Did they have a nice time yesterday？
③Jill will come back in two days．→Will Jill come back in two days？
④I don't have supper at school．→Don't you have supper at school？
3．将下列句子变为选择疑问句。
①He's a worker．（a teacher）→Is he a worker or a teacher？
②Jim was born in 1988．（in 1989）→Was Jim born in 1988 or in 1989？
4．将下列句子变为反意疑问句。
①Mr Mott got up very late in the morning．→Mr Mott got up very late in the morning，didn't he？
②Sandy never had lunch at school last year．→Sandy never had lunch at school last year，did she？
5将下列句子变为感叹句。
①Beijing is a very beautiful city．→What a beautiful city Beijing is！／How beautiful the city of Beijing is！
②This watch is 100，000 dollars（美元）．→What an expensive watch it is！／How expensive this watch is！
6．对划线部分提问。
①The Japanese band gave a concert in Wuhan last Sunday．→ When did the Japanese band give a concert in Wuhan？
②He was born in Paris in 1972．→When and where was he born？
③Her new skirt is 200 yuan．→How much is her new skirt？／What price is her new skirt？／What's the price of her new skirt？
7．将下列句子变为单数或复数句子。
①He's doing his homework now．→They're doing their homework now．
②Those are women doctors．→That is a woman doctor．
③There is a deer and a sheep under the tree．→There are some deer and some sheep under the tree．
8．将下列各题两个句子合并为一个句子。
①I saw the woman last week．She carried a baby in her arms．→I saw the woman with a baby in her arms last week．我上周看见过那个抱小孩的妇女。
②I have a brother．His name is Allan．→I have a brother called ／ named Allan．我有一个名叫艾伦的弟弟。
③A truck runs fast．A car runs faster．→A car runs faster than a truck．汽车比卡车快。
④Eric sang a song in Chinese．The song sounded very beautiful．→Eric sang a very beautiful song in Chinese．埃里克用汉语演唱了一首非常动听的歌曲。
（B）熟悉句型。对于按要求转换句型这类题目，必须对各种句型相当熟练，才能对题目后面的各种不同的要求迅速作出不同的反应。如果对诸如祈使句、感叹句、反意疑问句等都不知道是怎么回事，要进行正确的转换是不可能的。请看教材中的一个句子，要求不同，变法各异：
I think the most interesting animal in the zoo is the dolphin．
①变否定句：I don't think the most interesting animal in the zoo is the dolphin．
②变一般疑问句：Do you think the most interesting animal in the zoo is the dolphin？
③变反意疑问句：I think the most interesting animal in the zoo is the dolphin，isn't it？
④对the dolphin提问：What kind of animal do you think is the most interesting in the zoo？
（C）弄清句意。对同义句转换题，必须根据上句的意思确定下句的转换方法。如果句意看不懂、弄不明，则无法进行转换。对按不同要求转换句型之类的题目，也必须知道句意。如对划线部分提问之类的题目，既要弄清划线部分的意思，也要弄清全句的意思。只有这样，才能确定正确的提问词。例如：
①Let's climb up the hill to pick flowers，OK？（变同义句）
___________ ___________ climb up the hill to pick flowers？
②I think we must buy some bread for breakfast．（对划线部分提问）
___________ ___________ you think we must buy for breakfast？
析：这两题都选自2000年初二组初赛题。第①题上句意为“我们去爬山摘花好吗？”从句意看，本题表建议或征求意见，想想表建议的句型，Shall we不难填出。第②题句意不难理解，只是句型结构作了些变动：上句I think的疑问式do you think作为插入语插在特殊疑问词what和we之间。故本题填What do。
（D）注意特例。句型转换总体来说不是很复杂，但有些题容易出错，错因之一就是不注意特例。特例题不是难题，只是要细心。如：
①He has some books．（变否定句）
He doesn't have any books．／He hasn't any books．
②Kate bought something in the shop yesterday．（变一般疑问句）
Did Kate buy anything in the shop yesterday？
③He said something at the meeting．（变否定句）
He said nothing at the meeting ．／He didn't say anything at the meeting．
④Kate has a brother and a sister．（变否定句）
Kate doesn't have a brother or a sister．（or有“也不”之意）
⑤ Mary is always late for school．（变否定句）
Mary is never late for school．
注：第⑤题若说成Mary is not always late for school．则为部分否定，意为：玛丽上学不总迟到。（含有“有时不迟到”的情况。）
总之，做句型转换题时，要在弄懂要求和句意的前提下，针对题中空格有目的地进行思考，找到求答的切点。另外，平时要多练，培养活用语言的能力。最后要告诫大家：找准单词，不要出现拼写错误。
