អ្នកបំប្លែងប្រយោគ (B2)

Rewrite a sentence using different grammar, but keep the exact same meaning.

សរសេរប្រយោគឡើងវិញដោយប្រើវេយ្យាករណ៍ថ្មី តែអត្ថន័យរក្សាដដែល។

Rule 1: The Passive Shift

បំប្លែងទៅជាទម្រង់អកម្ម (Present Perfect)

Move the Object to the front. Add been.

Active
They have built a new bridge.
ពួកគេបានសាងសង់ស្ពានថ្មីមួយ។
Passive
A new bridge has been built.
ស្ពានថ្មីមួយត្រូវបានសាងសង់។ (អត្ថន័យដូចគ្នា)

Rule 2: If ➔ Unless

បំប្លែងលក្ខខណ្ឌ (លុះត្រាតែ)

Unless = If ... not

Original
If you do not study, you will fail.
បើសិនជាអ្នកមិនរៀនទេ អ្នកនឹងប្រឡងធ្លាក់។
Transformed
Unless you study, you will fail.
លុះត្រាតែអ្នករៀន ទើបអ្នកមិនប្រឡងធ្លាក់។ (អត្ថន័យដូចគ្នា)

Rule 3: Although ➔ Despite

បំប្លែងការផ្ទុយគ្នា (ទោះបីជា)

Although uses a full clause (S + V).
Despite uses a Noun or V-ing.

Original (Clause)
Although it was raining, we went out.
ទោះបីជាមេឃកំពុងភ្លៀង យើងនៅតែចេញក្រៅ។
Transformed (Noun Phrase)
Despite the rain, we went out.
ទោះបីជាមានភ្លៀង ក៏យើងនៅតែចេញក្រៅ។
The "Despite" Trap!

Never use "OF" after Despite!

(កុំដាក់ "of" ពីក្រោយ despite ឲ្យសោះ! វាមានន័យស្មើនឹង "in spite of" រួចទៅហើយ។)
Despite of the rain... ❌
Despite the rain... ✔️
In spite of the rain... ✔️
