Tone Transformer

In this worksheet, students transform an informal paragraph containing multiple phrasal verbs into a more formal version by replacing each phrasal verb with a single-word synonym. This teaches learners how tone shifts depending on vocabulary choice and how formal writing often avoids phrasal verbs. Students practice rewriting text to match academic or professional standards while preserving meaning. The activity enhances understanding of tone, register, and precise word choice.
