Final answer:
To convert a negative question to an affirmative sentence, identify the subject and verb, discard the auxiliary 'do' and negation 'not', and convert the verb to its affirmative form.
Step-by-step explanation:
To change negative questions into affirmative sentences: identify the subject and verb, remove the auxiliary verb 'do' if it's used to form a question, and then switch the verb to its positive form.
When converting a negative question into an affirmative sentence, start by looking at the construction of the negative question. In English, negative questions often involve an auxiliary verb like 'do' followed by 'not' or its contraction 'n't', along with the main verb. For example, the negative question 'Have Yomi and Ali not done their activities?' can be changed to an affirmative sentence by following these steps:
- Identify the subject of the sentence which is 'Yomi and Ali'.
- Remove the auxiliary verb 'do' and the negation 'not' from the question.
- Switch the verb to its positive form, in this case, changing 'done' to 'have done'.
The resulting affirmative sentence is: 'Yomi and Ali have done their activities.'
This process can be applied to questions involving do/does/did followed by 'not' or 'n't' as well. Remember to adjust the verb to match the correct tense and subject-verb agreement in the affirmative sentence.
