    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)

    Tag question
    A declarative sentence can also be changed into interrogative sentence by
    adding a short question at the end. Foe eg.
