How to change an interrogative sentence a declarative sentence?

Here's how to change an interrogative (question) sentence into a declarative (statement) sentence:

1. Remove the Question Mark:

* Interrogative sentences end with a question mark (?). Remove this to make it a declarative sentence.

2. Change the Word Order:

* Subject-Verb-Object: In most cases, interrogative sentences have a different word order than declarative sentences. Rearrange the words so the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object.

3. Consider the "Wh" words:

* "Wh" words (who, what, when, where, why, how): If the interrogative sentence starts with a "wh" word, remove it and replace it with appropriate information to make a statement.

Example:

* Interrogative: Where is the park?

* Declarative: The park is over there.

More Examples:

* Interrogative: Did you see the movie?

* Declarative: I saw the movie.

* Interrogative: What time is it?

* Declarative: It is 3:00 PM.

* Interrogative: Are you going to the party?

* Declarative: You are going to the party.

Tips:

* Be careful with negative interrogative sentences: For example, "Didn't you see the movie?" You'll need to change the verb and any negation to create a positive declarative sentence: "You saw the movie."
