LEARNING CONVERSION OF SENTENCE

ASSERTIVE TO EXCLAMATORY

With a view to changing sentences from assertive to exclamatory ,we can do it in the following way:-

It is a very nice story

What a nice story it is!

He is very talkative.
How talkative he is!

Structure

subj.+verb+a+very+adjective+ext..
what +a/an+adjective+ext.+subj.+verb!

subj.+verb+adjective+ext.
How+adjective+subj.+ext.

If there is a very +adj. in the sentence,the exclamatory will be started what a/an +adj. and if there is very +adj. in the sentence,the exclamatory sentence will be started how +adj.

Read the bellow sentence

He wishes he were a king.
If he were a king!

I wish I had a car.
If I had a car!

Structure

subj.+wish+subj.+were/verb(past)+ext.
If +subj.+were/verb(past)+ext.!

If there is subj.+wish+subj.+were/verb(past),if will be used instead of subj.+wish.

Read the following sentence

We wish we could  be a child again.
Would that we could be  a child  again!

Structure

subj.+wish+subj.+could+verb(present)+ext.
Would that + subj.+could+verb(present)+ext.!

If there is subj.+wish+subj.+could in the sentence,Would that will be used instead of subj. +wish.

Read the bellow sentence

I wish I were a child.
Were I a child!

He wishes he had a car.
Had he a car!

I wish I had been a king.
Had I been a king!

Structure

subj.+wish+subj.+were/had+ext..
Were/had+subj.+ext.!

If there is subj.+wish+subj.+had/were+ext. in the sentence,Firstly subj.+wish will be deleted and  exclamatory sentence will be started with were/had and then the next subj.+ext. will be used.

Read the following sentence

Conversion of Sentence

Affirmative to Negative -Interrogative

With a view to changing sentences from affirmative to negative interrogative,we can do in the following way:-

a.if there is any aux.verb (to be,to have,modals) in a sentence,we have to add n't with the aux.verb and put the aux.verb with n't before the subject and a question mark at the end of that sentence.For using not instead of n't,if the subj.is a noun ,not will be used before the subj.and if the subj.is a pronoun,not will be used after the subj.i.e.

Rana is honest

Isn't Rana honest?

Or Is not Rana honest?

He can run.

Can't he run?

Or Can he not run?

b.If there is no aux.verb in the sentence,we have to use to do verb with n't before the subj. and a question mark at the end of the sentence.for using not we should follow the rule mentioned in the last part of ( a)

He reads a book.

Doesn't he read a book?

Or Does he not read a book?

Kamal went home.

Didn't kamal go home?

Conversion of Sentence

Negative to Interrogative

In order to convert a negative sentence into an interrogative one,we can do in the following 

way:-

a.if there is not with an aux. Verb(to be,to have,modals)in a sentence,we can use aux.verb with not before the subject if the subj. Is a noun and if the subj. Is a personal pronoun(I,we,he,she, it,they,you) ,the aux .verb will be used before the subject and not after the subj.To avoid this hazard,we can use contruction of not with aux.verb before the subject.For the above cases,we should put a question mark at the end of the sentence.i.e.

Rana is not honest.

Is not Rana honest?

or Isn't Rana honest?

He was not well.

Was he not well?

or Wasn't he well?

b.If there is not with to do verb ,we can place to do verb before subj. For not will be used acording to rules of subj. mentioned in (a).we can use contraction of not with to do verb.i.e.

Karim does not play.

 Does not karim play?

 Or Doesn't Karim play?

He did not go.

Did he not go?

 Or Didn't he go?

Conversion of Sentence 

Interrogative to affirmative

With a view to changing sentence from interrogative to affirmative,we can do in the following way

a.if there is any aux.verb(to be,to have,modals)before the subject,we can place the aux. Verb after the subj. And delete question mark with a fulstop.i.e.

Is he clever?

He is clever.

Can you help her?

You can help her.

b.if there is to do verb before the subj.,the to do verb should be deleted.The question mark is replaced with a fulstop and the main verb of the sentence will be used according to the tense of the to do verb of that sentence.i.e.

Does he make a noise?

He makes a noise.

Do they go there?

They go there.

Did she play then?

She played then.

If there is does before the subject in interrogative sentence,s/es will be added after the verb in affirmative sentence.For do before the subject, the basic form of verb will be used and for did before the subject,the tense of verb in affirmative sentence will be in the past tense.

Conversion of Sentence

Affirmative to Interrogative

With a view to changing sentences from affirmative to interrogative without changing the meaning,we can do in the following way:-

a.if there is to be,to have,modals in a sentence as an auxiliary verb,we convert the affirmative sentence  into an interrogative sentence by placing the auxiliary  verb before the subject and putting question mark at the end of that sentence i.e.

He is honest

Is he honest?

We can swim

Can we swim?

b.if there is no auxiliary  verb in a sentence,we can convert it into an interrogative by using to do verb as an auxiliary verb according to the tense of main verb before the subject and putting a question mark at the end of that sentence i.e.

He reads a book.

Does he read a book?

We play cricket.

Do we play cricket,

He went home.

Did he go home?

If there is present tense in affirmative sentence,do/does will have to be used in interrogative sentence.If there is past tense in affirmative sentence ,did will be used in interrogative sentence.If there is s/es with the verb ,does is used.If  there is the basic form of verb ,do is used then.

The following contraction are also used in sentence.From the contraction we have to detect the auxiliary verb.

's=is/was/has

've=have

're=are/were

'll=shall/will

'd=had/would
