Abstract: A broad class of generalized Einstein's gravity can be cast into Einstein's gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field using suitable conformal rescaling of the metric. Using this conformal equivalence between the theories, we derive the equations for the background and the perturbations, and the general asymptotic solutions for the perturbations in the generalized Einstein's gravity from the simple results known in the minimally coupled scalar field. Results for the scalar and tensor perturbations can be presented in unified forms. The large scale evolutions for both modes are characterized by corresponding conserved quantities. We also present the normalization condition for canonical quantization.
