LEARNING TRANSFORMATION OF SENTENCE

Transformation of sentence

Affirmative to Negative


Read the bellow sentence:-

Affirmative:- We must read attentively.
Negative:-We cannot but read attentively.
                We cannot help reading attentively.
Affirmative:-You must obey your parents.
Negative:-You can not but obey your parents.
                You cannot help obeying your parents

structure:-

Affirmative:-subject+must+verb+ext.
Negative:-subject+cannot but+verb+ext.
               subject+cannot help+verb-ing+ext.

For making a negative sentence from an affirmative sentence having must,we have to use cannot but/cannot help for must.In this case,basic form of verb will be used after cannot but and present participle (verb-ing) will be used after cannot help.

Read the bellow sentence:-

Affirmative:-Everybody hates a liar.
Negative:-There is no body but hates a liar.
Affirmative:-Everyone loves a rose.
Negative:-There is no one but loves a rose.

structure:-

Affirmative:-Every+noun/body/one+verb+ext.
Negative:- There is no +noun/body/one+but+verb+ext

To change an affirmative sentence having every +noun/body/one into a negative sentence,we can use there is no for every,then we have to put the word after every and next we should use but before verb+ext. 

Read the bellow sentence:-

As soon as he came,the rain started.
No sooner had he come than the rain started.
As soon as we reached the station,the train left.
No sooner had we reached the station than the train left.

structure:-

As soon as +subject+verb(past),subject+verb(past)+ext.
No sooner had +subject+verb(past participle) +than+subject+verb(past)+ext.

To change an affirmative sentence having as soon as with two clauses,no sooner had will be used for as soon as in negative sentence.than must be used between the two clauses.
