English Class V Lesson-3 (Grammar) Transformation of Sentences A sentence can be changed from one kind to another without changing its meaning. 1. From Exclamatory to Declarative An exclamatory sentence can be changed into declarative sentence and vice versa. For eg: How beautiful she is! (exclamatory) She is very beautiful. (declarative) 2. From Declarative to Interrogative a) A declarative sentence can be changed into interrogative by putting the verb before the subject. For eg: She is very kind. (declarative) Isn’t she very kind? (interrogative) b) When a declarative sentence has two verbs- one helping and one main , it can be changed into interrogative by putting the subject between the two verbs. For eg: I will met you at the mall. (declarative) Won’t I meet you at the mall? (interrogative) c) When declarative contains the adverb never, it becomes ever in interrogative sentence. For eg: I never asked you to do it. (declarative) Did I ever asked you to do it? (interrogative) d) When declarative sentence contains the adverb no, it becomes any in the interrogative sentence. For eg: There is no fun in doing that. (declarative) Is there any fun in doing that? (interrogative) Exercises: A. Change the following declarative sentence into interrogative sentences. 1.
