LEARNING TRANSFORMATION OF SENTENCE

Transformation of sentence

Assertive to Interrogative


Read the following sentence:-

Assertive:- He reads a book.
Interrogative:-Doesn't he read a book?
Assertive:- I go to the bus station.
Interrogative:-Don't I go to the bus station?
Assertive:- They made a noise.
Interrogative:-Didn't they make a noise?

structure:-

Assertive:- subject+verb+ext.
Interrogative:-to do +n't+subject+verb+ext?

If there is no auxiliary verb in the assertive sentence/affirmative sentence,to make it an interrogative sentence to do verb will be used as an auxiliary verb there and n't will have to add after the to do verb and to do with n't will be placed before the subject in the interrogative sentence.
