Paraphrase Pairs

This worksheet includes two columns: original sentences and paraphrased sentences presented in random order. Students must match each original sentence with its correct paraphrased version by identifying which rewritten option maintains the same meaning. The task encourages close reading and comparison skills as students distinguish accurate paraphrases from misleading or partially correct ones. Learners deepen their understanding of sentence-level paraphrasing through exposure to varied structures and vocabulary. This activity also trains students to recognize how meaning is preserved even when sentence form changes significantly. The matching format provides engaging practice for developing precision in interpretation and rewriting.
