How do you change declarative in to interrogative?

You can change a declarative sentence (a statement) into an interrogative sentence (a question) by following these steps:

1. Start with a question word (if applicable):

* Who: Used for the subject of the sentence (the person or thing doing the action).

* What: Used for the object of the sentence (the thing being acted upon) or for descriptions.

* Where: Used for location.

* When: Used for time.

* Why: Used for reason.

* How: Used for the manner in which something is done.

* Which: Used for choice.

2. Invert the subject and verb:

* Example:

* Declarative: "The dog barks loudly."

* Interrogative: "Does the dog bark loudly?"

3. Add a question mark at the end.

Examples:

* Declarative: The sun is shining.

* Interrogative: Is the sun shining?

* Declarative: They went to the park.

* Interrogative: Where did they go?

* Declarative: He likes pizza.

* Interrogative: What does he like?

Important Note:

* Some declarative sentences don't require a question word. You only need a question word if you are asking about a specific aspect of the sentence.

* If the sentence is in the negative, you need to change it to the affirmative before inverting the subject and verb. For example: "He doesn't like pizza." becomes "Does he like pizza?"
