State whether the following sentence is true or false. ‘the stone was too heavy for him to lift’ is transformed into ‘the stone was heavy and he cannot lift it’. Correct Answer False
In the sentence given, the word ‘too’ expresses the heavy nature of the stone and tells the reason why it could not be lifted. The degree of difficulty is also expressed similarly through the transformation, ‘the stone was so heavy that it could not be lifted by him’. Any other transformation than this would not express the tone properly. Thus, the given statement is false.
