Honestly, I don't think about what the verbs mean. Some people study them here. You eventually do so many past papers that you figure things out pretty well.

Curious, what subjects are you doing that require you to reword the question when you start the response. You should aim to make your first sentence provide your personal view or an expansion on the question. Also, in subjects like English, it is important that you use key words from the question. That shows that you are directly answering the question.

also how do you start sentences besides rewording the question
not sure if i've interpreted this question right, but maybe bringing in the concepts? idk examples but like, getting the concepts of the essay in the topic sentence gives it a bit more strength

does this help? (original thread: https://boredofstudies.org/threads/when-people-say-dont-reword-the-question-what-do-they-mean.409563/)
you shouldn't reword the question, you should instead provide a perspective on it or just directly answer it.

eg, for the question "are banana exports a significant part of australia's economy?" a good start would be "banana exports are a significant part of australia's economy because..." because you directly address your perspective on the question and immediately go into detail in your response afterwards, that's a perfectly fine and formal response to the question. when people say don't reword the question they usually are saying to directly use the terms in the question and address them, because if you mess around with the question itself then sometimes you won't properly answer it. so for the question before, a response like "australia's economy has a reliance on banana exports because..." wouldn't necessarily be as good of an answer because now you've switched the question from how significant banana exports are to australia's economy to if australia's economy needs banana exports to survive, even though it's just a minor rewording. bc of that usually, it's just a good idea to stick with the question's wording and use the terms already provided to you, and it also saves you time and makes responses more succinct
