About Transformation of Sentences Class 5 English Grammar
A sentence can be changed from one kind to another without changing its meaning.
From Exclamatory to Declarative
An exclamatory sentence can be changed into a declarative sentence and vice versa.
Example:
- What an amazing scenery (it is)! (exclamatory)
- It is an amazing scenery. (declarative)
- How beautiful she is! (exclamatory)
- She is very beautiful. (declarative)]
From Declarative to Interrogative
Declarative sentences can be changed into interrogative sentences and vice versa.
♦ A declarative sentence can be changed into an interrogative sentence by putting the verb before the subject.
Example:
- She is very kind. (declarative)
- Isn’t she very kind? (interrogative)
Note: In order not to change the meaning, use “Isn’t”, “Aren’t”, “Hasn’t” and “Won’t”.
Example:
- I am in Class V. (declarative)
- Aren’t I in Class V? (interrogative)
♦ When a declarative sentence has two verbs-one helping and one main, it can be changed into an interrogative sentence by putting the subject between the two verbs.
Example:
- She has finished her homework. (declarative)
- Hasn’t she finished her homework? (interrogative)
- You are going to the fair. (declarative)
- Aren’t you going to the fair? (interrogative)
- I will meet you at the mall. (declarative)
- Won’t I meet you at the mall? (interrogative)
When a declarative sentence contains the adverb never, it becomes ever in the interrogative sentence.
Example:
- I never asked you to do it. (declarative)
- Did I ever ask you to do it? (interrogative)
• When a declarative sentence contains the adverb no, it becomes any in the interrogative sentence.
Example:
- There is no fun in doing that. (declarative)
- Is there any fun in doing that? (interrogative)

Tag questions
♦ A declarative sentence can also be changed into an interrogative sentence by adding a short question at the end.
Example:
- She is beautiful, isn’t she?
These short questions that we put at the end of sentences are called tag questions. Tag questions contain a helping verb and a subject pronoun.
Usually, if the sentence is positive, the question tag is negative.
Positive sentence: I am a student,
Negative tag: aren’t I?
Positive sentence: You are a student,
Negative tag: aren’t you?
Positive sentence: She is a student,
Negative tag: isn’t she?
Positive sentence: She was coming,
Negative tag: wasn’t she?
Positive sentence: He lives (does live) in Paris
Negative tag: doesn’t he?
Positive sentence: They live (do live) in Paris,
Negative tag: don’t they?
Positive sentence: He was happy,
Negative tag: wasn’t he?
Positive sentence: They were happy,
Negative tag: weren’t they?
Positive sentence: He went (did go) to the party last night,
Negative tag: didn’t he?
Positive sentence: They were waiting for us,
Negative tag: weren’t they?
Positive sentence: They have been to Paris,
Negative tag: haven’t they?
Positive sentence: He had gone home early,
Negative tag: hadn’t he?
Positive sentence: She will arrive early,
Negative tag: won’t she?
Positive sentence: He can help,
Negative tag: can’t he?
Positive sentence: He must come today,
Negative tag: mustn’t he?
Usually, if the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive.
Negative sentence: I am not a student,
Positive tag: am I?
Negative sentence: You aren’t a student,
Positive tag: are you?
Negative sentence: She isn’t a student,
Positive tag: is she?
Negative sentence: She wasn’t coming,
Positive tag: was she?
Negative sentence: He doesn’t live in Paris,
Positive tag: does he?
Negative sentence: They don’t live in Pari
Positive tag: do they?
Negative sentence: He wasn’t happy.
Positive tag: was he?
Negative sentence: They weren’t happy.
Positive tag: were they?
Negative sentence: He didn’t go to the party last night,
Positive tag: did he?
Negative sentence: They weren’t waiting for us,
Positive tag: were they?
Negative sentence: They haven’t been to Paris,
Positive tag: have they?
Negative sentence: He hadn’t gone home earl
Positive tag: had he?
Negative sentence: She won’t arrive early,
Positive tag: will she?
If a sentence contains negative words like never, seldom, or hardly ever, we
generally use positive question tags.
Example:
- She never comes late, does she?
- We don’t keep our country clean, do we?
- It hardly ever rains in a desert, does it?
If the main subject is everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, nobody, or no one, we use the subject they in the question tag.
Example:
- Everybody loves her, don’t they?
- No one objected, did they?
- Everyone agreed, didn’t they?
