୧. ଅଧ୍ୟାୟର ସାରାଂଶ ଓ ମାଇଣ୍ଡ ମ୍ୟାପ୍ (Mind Map & Conceptual Architecture)
This chapter, "Negatives and Interrogatives," focuses on how to transform declarative sentences into their negative and interrogative forms. It explains the fundamental rules for constructing negative statements and different types of questions in English grammar. The core objective is to enable students to correctly identify and convert sentences into these forms, understanding the role of auxiliary verbs, 'do' forms, and question words.
Conceptual Architecture / Mind Map:
Sentences
├─── Declarative Sentences (ବିବୃତ୍ତିମୂଳକ ବା ସୂଚନାମୂଳକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
│ ├─── Affirmative Sentences (ହଁ-ସୂଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
│ │ └─── (Positive statements, e.g., "Rina is fond of sweets.")
│ └─── Negative Sentences (ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
│ ├─── Formation with Auxiliary Verbs: 'not' after auxiliary (is, am, are, has, have, will, can, etc.)
│ │ └─── (e.g., "Swallows are not seen in winter.")
│ ├─── Formation without Auxiliary Verbs: Use 'do/does/did not' + base form of main verb.
│ │ └─── (e.g., "They do not often make noise.")
│ └─── Using Negative Operators: (no, never, nor, neither...nor, none)
│ └─── (e.g., "He has no money.")
├─── Interrogative Sentences (ପ୍ରଶ୍ନବାଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
│ ├─── Yes/No Questions (ହଁ/ନା ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ)
│ │ ├─── Formation with Auxiliary Verbs: Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb?
│ │ │ └─── (e.g., "Can Kajal solve the problem?")
│ │ └─── Formation without Auxiliary Verbs: Do/Does/Did + Subject + Base form of main verb?
│ │ └─── (e.g., "Does Hari read well?")
│ └─── Wh-Questions (Wh- ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ)
│ ├─── Formation: Wh-word (Who, What, When, Where, Why, Which, How) + Auxiliary (if any) + Subject + Main verb?
│ │ └─── (e.g., "Where is Narendra?")
│ └─── Wh-word as Subject: Wh-word + Main verb?
│ └─── (e.g., "Who is your best friend?")
└─── Contractions (ସଂକ୍ଷିପ୍ତ ରୂପ)
├─── Affirmative Contractions: (I'm, She's, They're)
└─── Negative Contractions: (I'm not, She isn't, They aren't, I haven't, She won't, I shan't)

୨. ମୁଖ୍ୟ ବିଷୟବସ୍ତୁ, ସିଦ୍ଧାନ୍ତ ଓ ଗାଣିତିକ ସୂତ୍ରାବଳୀ (Comprehensive Theory & Formulas)
This chapter delves into the transformation of sentences into their negative and interrogative forms, which are crucial aspects of English grammar for effective communication.
୨.୧ Affirmative and Negative Sentences (ହଁ-ସୂଚକ ଓ ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
୨.୧.୧ How to Form Negative Sentences (ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ ଗଠନ କରିବାର ନିୟମ)
If a sentence contains an auxiliary verb (is, am, are, was, were, has, have, had, will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, must, ought to, need, dare), 'not' is normally placed immediately after the auxiliary verb to make it negative.
In simple present tense and simple past tense sentences where there is no auxiliary verb, we use the appropriate form of the 'do' verb (do not, does not, did not) to make the sentence negative. The main verb then reverts to its base form (V1).
Some other words like 'no', 'never', 'nor', 'neither...nor', 'none' can also be used to make a sentence negative.
An exclamatory sentence (a sentence expressing strong emotion) usually does not take negation. Trying to make an exclamatory sentence negative often sounds unnatural or grammatically incorrect in its exclamatory form.
୨.୨ Contractions (ସଂକ୍ଷିପ୍ତ ରୂପ)
Contractions are shortened forms of words, often used in informal speech and writing. In the context of negatives, they combine an auxiliary verb with 'not'.
| Affirmative Statement | Contracted Affirmative | Contracted Negative |
|---|---|---|
| I am ill. | I'm ill | I'm not ill (or I am'nt ill - less common) |
| She is ill. | She's ill | She isn't ill. |
| They are ill. | They're ill | They aren't ill. |
| I have done. | I've done | I haven't done. |
| She will do. | She'll do | She won't do. |
| I shall do. | I'll do. | I shan't do. |
| We should help. | We should help. | We shouldn't help. |
| You must ask. | You must ask. | You mustn't ask. |
| He does his work. | He does his work. | He doesn't do his work. |
୨.୩ Interrogative Sentences (ପ୍ରଶ୍ନବାଚକ ବାକ୍ୟ)
Interrogative sentences are used to ask questions. They always end with a question mark (?). There are broadly two types: Yes/No questions and Wh-questions.
୨.୩.୧ Yes/No Questions (ହଁ/ନା ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ)
These are questions that can be answered with a simple 'Yes' or 'No'.
If the declarative sentence contains an auxiliary verb, move the auxiliary verb to the beginning of the sentence, before the subject.
If the declarative sentence is in simple present or simple past tense and does not have an auxiliary verb, use 'Do', 'Does', or 'Did' at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject and the base form of the main verb (V1).
୨.୩.୨ Wh-Questions (Wh- ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ)
These questions begin with 'Wh-words' (Who, What, When, Where, Why, Which, How) and require more detailed answers than a simple 'Yes' or 'No'. They seek specific information.
Place the appropriate Wh-word at the beginning of the sentence. If there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, it follows the Wh-word, then the subject, and then the main verb. If there is no auxiliary verb, use 'do', 'does', or 'did' after the Wh-word, followed by the subject and the base form of the main verb.
When the Wh-word itself is the subject of the sentence (e.g., 'Who' or 'What' asking about the doer of the action), the structure is simpler: Wh-word + Main Verb + Rest of the sentence? No auxiliary 'do' is needed in such cases.
