LEARNING TRANSFORMATION OF SENTENCE

Transformation of sentence

Assertive to Interrogative

Read the following sentence:-

Assertive:- He is honest.
Interrogative:- Isn't he honest?
Assertive:-They will go.
Interrogative:-Won't they  go?
Assertive:-We shall play.
Interrogative:-Shan't we play?
Assertive:-Rana can swim.
Interrogative:-Can't Rana swim?

structure:-

Assertive:-subject+auxiliary verb+ext.

Interrogative:-auxiliary verb +n't+subject+ext.?

If there is an auxiliary verb in the assertive sentence,n't added with the auxiliary verb and be placed before the subject in the interrogative sentence.If it is an affirmative sentence ,the interrogative sentence will be negative-interrogative.

Read the following sentence:-

Assertive:-He was a wise man.
Interrogative:-Wasn't he a wise man?
Assertive:-They have done this.
Interrogative:-Haven't they done this?
Assertive:-We can not study attentively.
Interrogative:-Can't we study attentively?

structure:-

Assertive:-subject+auxiliary verb+not+ext.

Interrogative:-auxiliary verb+subject+ext?

If the assertive sentence is a negative sentence,the negative word will be deleted in interrogative sentence and then it will be started with only auxiliary verb.
