Points to memorize During transformation of an affirmative/positive sentence to negative or interrogative sentence we need auxiliary verb in sentence. In case of, if it’s missing we need to examine the verb given in sentence. During the formation of negative sentence we should follow some steps mentioned here. 1. Join ‘not’ with auxiliary verb given in sentence. For instance is +not, am + not, are +not, has + not etc.

Example: • She is my younger sister. (Affirmative) She is not my sister. (Negative) • I have done my work. (Affirmative) I haven’t done my work. (Negative) • We will go to visit Agra. (Affirmative) We will not go to visit Agra. (Negative)

2. In condition of missing of auxiliary verb check main verb in the sentence. If main verb belongs to 1 st form of category then use do/does. Example: • I play hockey. Here play belongs to 1 st form of verb so the sentence formation will be as : • I don’t play hockey. (Negative) • Do I play hockey? (Interrogative)

3. If the main verb belongs to 2 nd form of category then use did. Example: • I played hockey. So the sentence formation will be due to 2 nd form of verb’s existence here • I didn’t play hockey. (Negative) • Did I play hockey? (Interrogative) [Note: when we use ‘did’ in sentence the rule says that main verb converts into 1 st form of category. ]

Main Verbs or Doing words

1 st form of verb (Present) 2 nd form of verb (Past) played go went visited see saw cut sleep slept do did These are some examples of 1 st and 2 nd form of verbs. Here you have to keep in mind that if there is (verb +s/es) plays, goes, sees, visits, sleeps etc in a sentence, then you have to use does to convert a sentence into negative or interrogative and remove (s/es) from the verb. Ex: He plays football. (Play + s) He does not play football. (Negative) (Play – s) Does he play football? (Interrogative) (Play – s)
