    Transformational rules allow sentences to be changed or transformed into different structures while maintaining the same meaning. For example, the sentences "Cheng kicked the ball" and "The ball was kicked by Cheng" have the same deep structure or meaning but different surface structures. Transformational rules diagram how elements like subjects and objects can be changed in a sentence while keeping the same underlying meaning through deep and surface structure analysis.
