Affirmative to Negative Sentence in English Grammar

(With Easy Hindi Explanation)

 

1.    Introduction

 

English grammar में sentences दो प्रकार के हो सकते हैं — Affirmative (Positive) और Negative

  • Affirmative Sentence: वह sentence जो किसी बात की पुष्टि करता है (Yes कहता है)।
  • Negative Sentence: वह sentence जो किसी बात को नकारता है (No कहता है)।

इसमें हम सीखेंगे कि कैसे Affirmative sentence को Negative sentence में बदला जाता है, step-by-step, आसान examples के साथ।


2. Definition

Affirmative Sentence

वह sentence जो किसी बात को positive रूप में कहता है।

Example:

  • She is a teacher. (वह एक teacher है।)
  • They play cricket. (वे cricket खेलते हैं।)

Negative Sentence

वह sentence जिसमें किसी बात को not या अन्य negative word के साथ नकार दिया जाता है।

Example:

  • She is not a teacher. (वह teacher नहीं है।)
  • They do not play cricket. (वे cricket नहीं खेलते हैं।)

 

 

3. How to Change Affirmative to Negative Sentence

Rule 1: “Be” Verb वाले Sentences में “not” जोड़ना

अगर sentence में is, am, are, was, were हो, तो इनके बाद not जोड़ते हैं।

 

Examples:

1.     She is happy. → She is not happy.

2.     I am ready. → I am not ready.

3.     They were tired. → They were not tired.


Rule 2: Helping Verb वाले Sentences में “not” जोड़ना

अगर sentence में has, have, had, will, shall, can, may, must जैसे helping verb हों, तो इनके बाद not लगाएँ।

Examples:

1.     He has a car. → He does not have a car. (ध्यान दें: “has” को negative में “does not have” किया जाता है)

2.     She will go. → She will not go.

3.     They can swim. → They cannot swim.


 

Rule 3: Main Verb वाले Simple Present/Past Tense में “do/does/did + not”

अगर sentence में कोई helping verb नहीं है और main verb present tense में है, तो do/does का प्रयोग करें।
अगर main verb past tense में है, तो did का प्रयोग करें।

Examples:

1.     They play cricket. → They do not play cricket.

2.     She likes coffee. → She does not like coffee.

3.     He went to school. → He did not go to school.


Rule 4: Special Words बदलकर Negative बनाना

कुछ affirmative words को उनके negative form से बदलना पड़ता है:

Affirmative Word

Negative Word

always

never

everybody

nobody

someone

no one

something

nothing

all

not all

Examples:

1.     Everybody knows him. → Nobody knows him.

2.     She always comes on time. → She never comes on time.


 

Rule 5: Double Negative से बचना

English में एक sentence में केवल एक ही negative form इस्तेमाल करें, वरना meaning बदल सकता है।

❌ Wrong: I don’t know nothing.
✅ Correct: I don’t know anything.


 

4. Common Mistakes

1.     Has को सीधे “has not” करना हमेशा सही नहीं होता

o    He has a car. → He does not have a car. (Correct)

2.     Verb का base form इस्तेमाल करना

o    Wrong: He did not went.

o    Correct: He did not go.

3.     Helping verb का सही प्रयोग

o    Wrong: She plays not cricket.

o    Correct: She does not play cricket.


 

5. Practice Sentences
