Assertive Sentences को Interrogative Sentences में बदलने के लिए निम्नलिखित प्रमुख नियम हैं-
1. वाक्य में प्रयुक्त Auxiliary Verb को Subject के पहले रखने से वाक्य Interrogative Sentence में परिवर्तित हो जाता है। जैसे –
Assertive
He is ill.
I have eaten.
She will dance today.
She should sing.
She does not dance.
They did not come.
I was not ready.
Interrogative
Is he ill?
Have I eaten?
Will she dance today?
Should she sing?
Does she not dance?
Did they not come?
Was I not ready?
2. जब किसी वाक्य में Ordinary Verb Simple Present Tense में प्रयुक्त रहता है, तब Subject के पहले do/does का प्रयोग करके वाक्य को Interrogative Sentence में परिवर्तित किया जाता है। और, इस वाक्य में अगर Ordinary Verb में पहले से -s या -es लगा रहता है तो वह -s या -es लुप्त हो जाता है।अर्थात् Interrogative Sentence का structure इस प्रकार हो जाता हैं-
Do + I/we/you/they/plural noun + V1 ?
Does + he/she/it/singular noun + V1?
Assertive
I play.
They know me.
Ram laughs.
He eats.
He loves me.
Interrogative
Do I play?
Do they know me?
Does Ram laugh?
Does he eat?
Does he love me?
3. जब किसी वाक्य में Ordinary Verb Simple Past Tense में प्रयुक्त रहता है, तब अभीष्ट वाक्य को Interrogative Sentence में परिवर्तित करने के लिए Subject के पहले did का प्रयोग किया जाता है और Subject के बाद प्रयुक्त Verb के V2 form को V1 form परिवर्तित किया जाता है। इस परिस्थिति में Interrogative Sentence का structure होता है-
Dis + Subject + V1 ?
Assertive
Subject + V2
I went.
They won the match.
He killed a bird.
He did.
Interrogative
Did + Subject + V1 ?
Did I go?
Did they win the match?
Did he kill a bird?
Did he do?
