1. Objective

By the end, you will manipulate “Rephrasing in Albanian” in new sentences and check your choices.

2. I discover

Here the syntax changes more. Identify lack of response, purpose and concession before rephrasing.

3. I understand

Rephrasing keeps the meaning while changing wording or structure. Markers such as “me fjalë të tjera” or “domethënë” can introduce a rephrasing, but meaning still has to remain stable.

Nuk kemi marrë ende përgjigje.Deri tani, askush nuk na është përgjigjur.Ajo erdhi herët që të përgatiste sallën.Ajo mbërriti më herët me qëllim që të përgatiste sallën.Megjithëse ishte i lodhur, vazhdoi punën.Ishte i lodhur, por megjithatë vazhdoi punën.

Watch out

Pay special attention to modality: “mund”, “duhet” and “ndoshta” do not express the same degree of certainty or obligation.

4. Guided practice

5. Independent practice

6. I write / I speak

Rephrase two sentences by changing connector or structure without changing the logical relation.

7. Check-up

8. Remember

Say it differently, not something different: information, logical relation and degree of certainty must remain stable.
