  • Assertive-Negative-Exclamatory-Interrogative: Transformation of Sentences in English for CLAT

Various types of sentences exist in the English language. Out of this large number of categories there are four distinct categories that are recurring in most texts.

These four types of sentences are assertive, negative, exclamatory and interrogative.

Your work as a student preparing for CLAT is essentially to be thorough about the process of identification of these sentences and the method of transforming one type into another.

An assertive sentence is a sentence that states a fact. Such sentences are simple statements. They state, assert, or declare something. They are also called an assertive or declarative sentence. Assertive sentences usually end with a period or full stop.

Eg. Raju is a dedicated student.

A negative sentence states something is not true or incorrect or presents some fact by using a negative word (e.g. no, not). A negative sentence can be formed when words like “no”, “not”, “don’t” or “doesn’t” is added to the sentence.

Eg. Dogs do not chase after rats.

An exclamatory sentence makes a statement (just like a declarative sentence), but it also conveys excitement or emotion. An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark (!)

Eg. I just won the award!

An interrogative sentence is a sentence whose grammatical form indicates that it is a question. Interrogative questions end with a question mark.

Eg. How old are you?
