  • The two sentences have to have the same or, at least, the most similar meaning possible.

  • You have to write between 2-5 words in the gap, not more and not less.

  • You must use the key word in the gap and you cannot change it in any way.

  • Read the two sentences

  • Analyse what information you already have in both sentences

  • Read the sentences again

    ‘Can’t’ is the only exception because it contracts ‘cannot’ which is just one word.


    Secondly, you have to use the key word in the gap as part of the 2-5 words without changing it.
