Transformation Of Sentences Worksheet For Class 7

A sentence can be transformed in several different ways. For example, in order to transform an affirmative sentence into a negative sentence, we only have to put not after the auxiliary verb. Study examples given below.

• She is an archeologist. (Affirmative)
• She is not an archeologist. (Negative)
• He has agreed to come. (Affirmative)
• He has not agreed to come. (Negative)

If the affirmative sentence is in the simple present or simple past tense, we have to use do not, does not or did not to make negatives.

• He left in a hurry. (Affirmative)
• He did not leave in a hurry. (Negative)

We can transform an affirmative sentence into a negative sentence by putting the auxiliary verb before the subject.

• They are leaving in the afternoon. (Affirmative)
• Are they leaving in the afternoon? (Interrogative)

If the affirmative sentence is in the simple present or simple past tense, we use do, does or did to make questions.

• You recognised him. (Affirmative)
• Did you recognise him? (Interrogative)
