Transformation of Sentences – I

ASSIGNMENT 1

Change the following sentences into Negative Sentences:

1. Anita remembered to visit the Taj Mahal.

Answer: Anita did not remember to visit the Taj Mahal.

Explanation: To make this sentence negative, the auxiliary verb “did” is added along with “not.” The main verb “remembered” is
changed to its base form “remember” because “did” already indicates the past tense. Example: “She sang beautifully” becomes “She did
not sing beautifully.”

2. Every man makes mistakes.

Answer: Not every man makes mistakes.

Explanation: Here, the word “not” is added before “every” to make the sentence negative. This preserves the original meaning while
making it negative. Example: “Every child enjoys sweets” becomes “Not every child enjoys sweets.”

3. The soldiers continued the march.

Answer: The soldiers did not continue the march.

Explanation: The auxiliary verb “did” is introduced along with “not,” and the main verb “continued” is replaced by its base form
“continue.” This is because the past tense is carried by “did.” Example: “She wrote a letter” becomes “She did not write a letter.”

4. As soon as he saw the tiger, he climbed up a tree.

Answer: As soon as he saw the tiger, he did not climb up a tree.

Explanation: The auxiliary verb “did” is used with “not,” and “climbed” is converted to its base form “climb.” The first clause remains
unchanged as it is not being negated. Example: “As soon as she heard the news, she cried” becomes “As soon as she heard the news, she
did not cry.”

5. Do see me tomorrow at 7 o’clock.

Answer: Do not see me tomorrow at 7 o’clock.

Explanation: The imperative sentence “Do see” is negated by inserting “not” after “do.” This structure is used to give a command or
instruction in the negative form. Example: “Do finish your homework” becomes “Do not finish your homework.”

6. New York is the richest city in the world.

 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

Answer: New York is not the richest city in the world.

Explanation: To negate this sentence, “not” is added after the verb “is.” This applies to present tense sentences using the verb “to be.”
Example: “She is happy” becomes “She is not happy.”

7. Only a millionaire can afford such a life of luxury.

Answer: Not only a millionaire can afford such a life of luxury.

Explanation: “Not” is placed at the beginning of the sentence before “only,” changing the exclusivity implied. This makes the
statement less absolute. Example: “Only John can solve the puzzle” becomes “Not only John can solve the puzzle.”

ASSIGNMENT 2

Change the following Negative Sentences into Affirmative Sentences:

1. Please do not forget to convey my regards to your parents.

Answer: Please remember to convey my regards to your parents.

Explanation: To change a negative sentence into an affirmative one, we replace “do not forget” with “remember.” “Do not forget”
implies remembering, so the meaning stays the same but is now positive. Example: “Do not forget to water the plants” becomes
“Remember to water the plants.”

2. The two brothers are not unlike each other.

Answer: The two brothers are alike.

Explanation: “Not unlike” is a double negative, which means the sentence is actually positive. We simplify it by using “alike,” which is
the affirmative version. Example: “The situation is not unlike the previous one” changes to “The situation is similar to the previous one.”

3. No one could deny that Sushmita was beautiful.

Answer: Everyone admitted that Sushmita was beautiful.

Explanation: The negative “No one could deny” means everyone agreed. The affirmative version uses “admitted” to convey the same
idea positively. Example: “No one could deny his talent” becomes “Everyone acknowledged his talent.”

4. She does not fail to reach the school in time.

Answer: She always reaches the school in time.

Explanation: “Does not fail” means the action is consistently done. In the affirmative form, we use “always” to indicate regularity.
Example: “He does not fail to complete his homework” becomes “He always completes his homework.”

5. The teacher did not exclude your name from the list.

Answer: The teacher included your name in the list.

Explanation: The negative “did not exclude” becomes “included” to make it affirmative. Inclusion is the opposite of exclusion, keeping
the meaning intact. Example: “They did not exclude him from the meeting” becomes “They included him in the meeting.”

6. No sooner did the clock strike ten than we went to bed.

Answer: As soon as the clock struck ten, we went to bed.

Explanation: “No sooner… than” is a negative construction used to indicate an immediate action. The affirmative form uses “As soon
as.” Example: “No sooner had it rained than the children ran outside” becomes “As soon as it rained, the children ran outside.”

7. Do not fail to attend the lecture.

Page 2
Visit onlinefreenotes.com to get notes of different subjects, classes, and boards.
 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

Answer: Be sure to attend the lecture.

Explanation: “Do not fail” indicates an obligation or reminder. The affirmative form uses “Be sure to” to give a positive directive.
Example: “Do not fail to submit your assignment” becomes “Be sure to submit your assignment.”

ASSIGNMENT 3

Rewrite the following sentences in the Assertive form:

1. Is that the way to sharpen a pencil?

Answer: That is not the way to sharpen a pencil.

Explanation: This sentence is turned into an assertive form by removing the question format and rephrasing it as a straightforward
statement. Assertive sentences state something without questioning or commanding. Here, the word “not” is added to maintain the
negative sense implied by the original question. For example, “Is this your bag?” becomes “This is not your bag.”

2. Shall we ever forget his generosity?

Answer: We shall never forget his generosity.

Explanation: The interrogative sentence is changed into an assertive form by directly stating the action, keeping the meaning intact.
The word “never” is used instead of the questioning “shall we ever” to convey the same negative sense. For example, “Will you ever do
this?” becomes “You will never do this.”

3. Is this the kind of shoes you wear to school?

Answer: This is not the kind of shoes you wear to school.

Explanation: The question is converted into an assertive statement by removing the question format and adding “not” to preserve the
negative meaning. This makes the sentence a clear declaration rather than a question. For example, “Is this the place to eat?” becomes
“This is not the place to eat.”

4. Why waste time in listening to the radio?

Answer: There is no need to waste time in listening to the radio.

Explanation: The rhetorical question is transformed into an assertive sentence by rephrasing it as a clear statement of fact. Such
sentences often require adding auxiliary verbs or phrases like “there is no need” to complete the assertion. For example, “Why run in the
rain?” becomes “There is no need to run in the rain.”

5. When will they learn to obey their elders?

Answer: They will never learn to obey their elders.

Explanation: The question is converted to a straightforward statement expressing the implied idea. Here, the interrogative phrase
“When will they” is replaced with “They will never” to form a clear assertion. For example, “When will she come?” becomes “She will
never come.”

6. Who does not know the virtue of kindness?

Answer: Everyone knows the virtue of kindness.

Explanation: The negative rhetorical question is rephrased as a positive assertion. “Who does not” is replaced with “Everyone,” making
it a direct statement. For instance, “Who does not love music?” becomes “Everyone loves music.”

7. Can you gather figs from thistles?

Answer: You cannot gather figs from thistles.

Explanation: The interrogative sentence is restructured into an assertive one by removing the question format and adding “cannot” to

Page 3

 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

make a clear and factual statement. For example, “Can you swim in lava?” becomes “You cannot swim in lava.”

ASSIGNMENT 4

Rewrite the following sentences in the Interrogative form:

1. He was a criminal to do such a deed.

Answer: Was he a criminal to do such a deed?

Explanation: To change this sentence into an interrogative form, the helping verb “was” is moved to the beginning of the sentence
before the subject “he.” This structure turns the statement into a question. For example, the statement “She is happy” becomes “Is she
happy?” by moving the verb “is” to the front.

2. No one will like to live in poverty.

Answer: Will anyone like to live in poverty?

Explanation: In the interrogative form, “no one” is replaced with its equivalent “anyone,” and the helping verb “will” is moved to the
beginning. This creates a question. For instance, “No one can help” changes to “Can anyone help?”

3. There is nothing better than an active life.

Answer: Is there anything better than an active life?

Explanation: To form a question, “nothing” is replaced by “anything,” and the helping verb “is” is placed at the start. This turns the
statement into an interrogative. For example, “There is no time left” becomes “Is there any time left?”

4. I could have done nothing without your assistance.

Answer: Could I have done anything without your assistance?

Explanation: Here, “nothing” is replaced with “anything” to make it a question. The modal verb “could” is moved to the beginning of
the sentence to form the interrogative structure. For example, “He could do nothing” changes to “Could he do anything?”

5. No one can succeed without hard work.

Answer: Can anyone succeed without hard work?

Explanation: The negative phrase “no one” is transformed into “anyone,” and the modal verb “can” is placed at the start to form a
question. Similarly, “No one can swim” becomes “Can anyone swim?”

6. We do not work only to make money.

Answer: Do we work only to make money?

Explanation: To create a question, the auxiliary verb “do” is moved to the start, and “not” is removed since the question implies the
possibility of affirmation or negation. For instance, “You do not eat fish” becomes “Do you eat fish?”

7. Cowards die many times before their death.

Answer: Do cowards die many times before their death?

Explanation: The sentence becomes interrogative by introducing the auxiliary verb “do” at the beginning, which is required to form a
question in the simple present tense. For example, “Birds fly in the sky” changes to “Do birds fly in the sky?”

ASSIGNMENT 5

Rewrite the following Exclamations as Assertions:

1. How good of you to help me!

Page 4
Visit onlinefreenotes.com to get notes of different subjects, classes, and boards.
 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

Answer: It is very good of you to help me.

Explanation: Here, the exclamation “How good” expresses a strong feeling of appreciation. When converting it to an assertion, we state
it plainly by starting with “It is,” which makes the sentence declarative. Declarative sentences state facts or opinions without emotional
emphasis. Example: “How sweet the cake is!” becomes “The cake is very sweet.”

2. Alas! My grandfather is no more.

Answer: My grandfather is no more.

Explanation: The exclamation “Alas!” conveys sadness. To make it an assertion, we remove the word “Alas!” and simply state the fact,
“My grandfather is no more.” Assertions avoid exclamatory words and focus on presenting the idea in a straightforward manner.
Example: “Alas! We lost the game.” becomes “We lost the game.”

3. If only I were the Prime Minister of India!

Answer: I wish I were the Prime Minister of India.

Explanation: The phrase “If only” shows a strong desire or wish. In assertions, we replace “If only” with “I wish” to express the same
thought in a declarative form. Example: “If only I could fly!” becomes “I wish I could fly.”

4. Would that my mother were here today!

Answer: I wish my mother were here today.

Explanation: Similar to “If only,” the phrase “Would that” expresses a wish. To turn it into an assertion, we use “I wish” followed by
the desired condition. Example: “Would that it were sunny!” becomes “I wish it were sunny.”

5. What a pity! Tom could not come.

Answer: It is a pity that Tom could not come.

Explanation: The exclamation “What a pity!” shows regret or disappointment. To convert it into an assertion, we state the emotion as a
fact: “It is a pity.” This makes the sentence declarative while retaining its meaning. Example: “What a shame! We missed the bus.”
becomes “It is a shame that we missed the bus.”

6. How sad was the sight of the deserted village!

Answer: The sight of the deserted village was very sad.

Explanation: The phrase “How sad” emphasizes the intensity of sadness. When rewriting it as an assertion, we describe the scene
plainly by stating, “The sight…was very sad.” This shifts the focus from emotional emphasis to a factual statement. Example: “How
beautiful the garden is!” becomes “The garden is very beautiful.”

7. How cold the weather is!

Answer: The weather is very cold.

Explanation: The exclamation “How cold” emphasizes the intensity of the cold weather. As an assertion, we remove the exclamatory
form and directly state, “The weather is very cold.” This changes the sentence into a straightforward fact. Example: “How bright the
stars are!” becomes “The stars are very bright.”

ASSIGNMENT 6

Change the following Assertive sentences into Exclamatory sentences

1. I had a happy time last night.

Answer: What a happy time I had last night!

Explanation: When converting an assertive sentence into an exclamatory sentence, we use “What” or “How” depending on the subject

Page 5

 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

and the structure. Here, “What” is used because we are emphasizing “a happy time.” The structure becomes “What + noun + subject +
verb!” For example, “It was a great day” becomes “What a great day it was!”

2. This dress has a remarkable colour combination.

Answer: What a remarkable colour combination this dress has!

Explanation: To transform the sentence, we start with “What” to emphasize the noun phrase “a remarkable colour combination.” The
verb “has” follows the subject “this dress.” This structure is typical when the focus is on the object being described. For instance, “The
room has a lovely view” becomes “What a lovely view the room has!”

3. It is a pity that flowers should fade away so soon.

Answer: Alas! That flowers should fade away so soon!

Explanation: To express pity or sadness in an exclamatory sentence, we use interjections like “Alas!” and rephrase the sentence to
show strong emotion. The sentence “It is a pity” converts to “Alas!” to express sorrow. For example, “It is a shame that he left”
becomes “Alas! That he left!”

4. I wish I were a child again.

Answer: How I wish I were a child again!

Explanation: When expressing a strong wish or longing, “How” is used at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis. The structure
becomes “How + subject + wish + clause!” For example, “I wish I could fly” becomes “How I wish I could fly!”

5. It is a pity that a sailor should be afraid of waters.

Answer: Alas! That a sailor should be afraid of waters!

Explanation: Similar to expressing pity or regret, we use “Alas!” to convey the emotion strongly. The phrase “It is a pity” is omitted
and replaced by the exclamation “Alas!” The remaining sentence is left as it is to express the feeling. For example, “It is sad that she
failed” becomes “Alas! That she failed!”

6. Rohit has done a remarkable deed.

Answer: What a remarkable deed Rohit has done!

Explanation: The emphasis here is on “a remarkable deed,” so we begin with “What.” The structure follows the pattern “What + noun
+ subject + verb!” This highlights the action performed by the subject. For example, “She made a beautiful cake” becomes “What a
beautiful cake she made!”

7. The boys cried out with joy that they had won the match.

Answer: How joyfully the boys cried out that they had won the match!

Explanation: When the focus is on the manner or emotion, “How” is used to begin the sentence. The structure becomes “How +
adverb/adjective + subject + verb!” This emphasizes the way the action was performed. For instance, “He sang beautifully” becomes
“How beautifully he sang!”

ASSIGNMENT 7

Rewrite the following sentences, replacing the italicised words by their verb forms:

1. The warrior received a mortal wound.

Answer: The warrior was mortally wounded.

Page 6
Visit onlinefreenotes.com to get notes of different subjects, classes, and boards.
 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

Explanation: The italicized word “mortal” is replaced by its verb form “mortally wounded.” Here, “mortal” is an adjective, and to
convert it into its verb form, we describe the action (wounding in a mortal way). For example, “The blow mortally injured him” follows
the same structure.

2. The prisoner was granted freedom.

Answer: The prisoner was freed.

Explanation: The word “freedom” is replaced by its verb form “freed.” “Freedom” is a noun that denotes a state, while “freed” is a verb
that shows the action of giving freedom. For instance, “He freed the bird” means the bird was set free.

3. He objected to my proposal.

Answer: He opposed my proposal.

Explanation: The italicized word “objected” is replaced by its verb form “opposed.” “Objected” and “opposed” both convey
disagreement, but using “opposed” is more direct and active. Example: “She opposed the idea of moving” shows active disagreement.

4. I sent out an invitation to all my friends.

Answer: I invited all my friends.

Explanation: The word “invitation” is replaced by its verb form “invited.” “Invitation” is a noun that describes the act of asking
someone to join, while “invited” directly expresses this action. For example, “He invited her to the party” makes it more concise.

5. The cost of this book is fifty rupees.

Answer: This book costs fifty rupees.

Explanation: The noun “cost” is replaced by its verb form “costs.” Instead of describing the price as a state, the verb “costs” actively
tells how much something is priced. For instance, “The pen costs ten rupees” follows the same rule.

6. He achieved success in his business.

Answer: He succeeded in his business.

Explanation: The word “success” is replaced by its verb form “succeeded.” “Success” is a noun denoting the result of achieving goals,
while “succeeded” directly describes the accomplishment. For example, “They succeeded in finishing the project” shows the direct
action.

7. The two projects are quite different.

Answer: The two projects differ greatly.

Explanation: The adjective “different” is replaced by its verb form “differ.” While “different” describes the state, “differ” shows the
action of being distinct. For example, “The two opinions differ significantly” describes how they are not the same.

8. The disintegration of rocks makes sandy deserts.

Answer: Rocks disintegrate to form sandy deserts.

Explanation: The noun “disintegration” is replaced by its verb form “disintegrate.” Instead of describing the process as a state, the verb
“disintegrate” shows the action causing the result. For example, “The paper disintegrated in water” describes the breaking down.

ASSIGNMENT 8

Rewrite the following sentences replacing the italicised words by their Adverb forms:

1. He was not a reckless driver.

Page 7
Visit onlinefreenotes.com to get notes of different subjects, classes, and boards.
 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

Answer: He did not drive recklessly.

Explanation: The word “reckless” is an adjective, and we convert it into an adverb by adding “-ly” to make “recklessly.” Adverbs
describe how an action is performed. In this sentence, “recklessly” describes the manner of driving.

2. The defeat of the enemy was complete.

Answer: The enemy was defeated completely.

Explanation: The adjective “complete” is turned into the adverb “completely” to describe the verb “defeated.” Adverbs like this answer
the question “how” something happened.

3. Without hard work you can do nothing.

Answer: Without working hard, you can do nothing.

Explanation: The phrase “hard work” is replaced with the adverb “working hard.” The adverbial phrase modifies the verb “do” to
explain the conditions of doing something.

4. Please go through this letter with care.

Answer: Please go through this letter carefully.

Explanation: “Care” is a noun that is changed into the adverb “carefully.” This adverb modifies “go through,” telling how to perform
the action.

5. Her dress was shabby.

Answer: She dressed shabbily.

Explanation: The adjective “shabby” becomes “shabbily” as an adverb to describe the manner of dressing. Adding “-ly” turns many
adjectives into adverbs.

6. It was fortunate that I was not there.

Answer: Fortunately, I was not there.

Explanation: The adjective “fortunate” is turned into the adverb “fortunately” to describe the entire clause. It expresses the manner or
context of the event.

7. This must be done in an instant.

Answer: This must be done instantly.

Explanation: The phrase “in an instant” is replaced by the adverb “instantly,” simplifying the sentence while still explaining the
immediacy of the action.

8. The magician appeared to be a cheat.

Answer: The magician appeared to cheat deceitfully.

Explanation: The noun “cheat” is turned into the adverb “deceitfully” to describe the way the magician cheats. This modification aligns
with the original meaning of the sentence.

ASSIGNMENT 9

Rewrite the following sentences replacing the italicised words by their Adjective forms:

1. Rewrite the following sentences replacing the italicised words by their Adjective forms:

Answer: He takes pride in his heritage.

Page 8
Visit onlinefreenotes.com to get notes of different subjects, classes, and boards.
 ONLINEFREENOTES.COM

He takes pride in his hereditary qualities.

Explanation: The word “heritage” is a noun. To use its adjective form, we use “hereditary,” which describes something passed down by
inheritance. For example: “This is a hereditary disease.” Adjectives describe qualities or properties.

2. Smoking causes injury to health.

Answer: Smoking causes injurious effects to health.

Explanation: “Injury” is a noun, and its adjective form is “injurious,” meaning harmful or likely to cause damage. Adjectives like
“injurious” give more detail about what kind of effect smoking has. For instance, “That chemical is injurious to plants.”

3. Fortunately we reached here in time.

Answer: It was a fortunate thing that we reached here in time.

Explanation: “Fortunately” is an adverb, describing how an action was done. The adjective form “fortunate” describes the state or
condition, like “We are fortunate to be safe.”

4. They gave us a lot of trouble.

Answer: They gave us a lot of troublesome moments.

Explanation: “Trouble” is a noun. Its adjective form, “troublesome,” means causing difficulty or annoyance. Adjectives turn a situation
into something describable, e.g., “This is a troublesome task.”

5. He proved himself to be a boy of great courage.

Answer: He proved himself to be a boy of courageous nature.

Explanation: “Courage” is a noun, and “courageous” is the adjective form that describes a person or their actions as brave. For
example, “The firefighter was very courageous.”

6. He did not have the politeness to stand aside.

Answer: He was not polite enough to stand aside.

Explanation: “Politeness” is a noun, while “polite” is the adjective. Adjectives make sentences more direct. For instance: “The polite
boy helped the old lady.”

7. She hoped to be in the hospital in time.

Answer: She hoped to be in the hospitable environment in time.

Explanation: “Hospital” is a noun, and “hospitable” is the adjective form, meaning friendly or accommodating. This adjective changes
the focus from the place to its welcoming nature. For example: “The hosts were hospitable.”

8. He was dismissed for negligence of duty.

Answer: He was dismissed for being negligent in his duty.

Explanation: “Negligence” is a noun, while “negligent” is its adjective form, describing someone who fails to take proper care. For
example: “He was negligent with his responsibilities.”
