LEARNING TRANSFORMATION OF SENTENCE

Transformation of Sentence

Affirmative to Negative


Read the following sentence:-

Affirmative:- I shall remember you.
Negative:-I shall not forget you.
Affirmative:-He is rich.
Negative:-He is not poor.
Affirmative:-They are honest.
Negative:-They are not dishonest.

structure:-

Affirmative:-subject+auxiliary verb+verb/adjective/adverb+ext.

Negative:-subject+auxiliary verb+not+opposite verb/adjective/adverb+ext.


In order to change an affirmative sentence having an auxiliary verb with a verb/adjective/adverb into a negative sentence,we should add not after the auxiliary verb and use the opposite meaning of verb/adjective/adverb in negative sentence.


Read the bellow sentence:-

Affirmative:-They love us.
Negative:-They do not hate us.
Affirmative:-We obey our parents.
Negative:-We do not disobey our parents.
Affirmative:-She remembered me.
Negative:-She did not forget me

 structure:-

Affirmative:-subject+verb+ext.

Negative:- subject+auxiliary verb to do+not+opposite verb+ext.


If there is no auxiliary verb in an affirmative sentence,to do verb will be used as auxiliary verb to make it a negative sentence.After to do verb not will be added and the opposite meaning of verb will used there.This to do verb will be according to the tense of the verb of affirmative sentence.
