How do you turn a question into statement?

Here's how to turn a question into a statement, along with examples:

1. Identify the Question Words:

* Who, what, where, when, why, how: These are the most common question words.

2. Remove the Question Word:

* Example: "Where is the library?"

* Remove "Where": "is the library?"

3. Change the Word Order:

* Questions often have a reversed word order. (Subject-Verb-Object)

* Statements typically have a direct word order. (Subject-Verb-Object)

4. Add Necessary Words:

* Sometimes, you'll need to add words to complete the thought.

Examples:

Question: "What is your favorite color?"

Statement: "My favorite color is blue."

Question: "Why are you late?"

Statement: "I am late because of traffic."

Question: "Where is the nearest coffee shop?"

Statement: "The nearest coffee shop is on Main Street."

Key Points:

* Context matters: Sometimes, you might need to adjust the statement slightly to fit the context of the question.

* There might be multiple correct statements: Depending on the question, there might be more than one way to turn it into a statement.
