To transform an imperative sentence into an interrogative sentence, you need to shift the sentence's purpose from giving a command to asking a question. Here's how you can do it:
- Identify the verb: Find the action word in the imperative sentence.
- Add a question word: Insert a question word like who, what, when, where, why, or how at the beginning of the sentence.
- Change the word order: Adjust the sentence structure to form a question.
- Add a question mark: End the interrogative sentence with a question mark.
Here are some examples:
-
Imperative: Close the door.
-
Interrogative: Will you please close the door?
-
Imperative: Go to the store.
-
Interrogative: Where should I go?
-
Imperative: Finish your homework.
-
Interrogative: When will you finish your homework?
Practical insights:
- You can sometimes add a question word to the end of an imperative sentence to create an interrogative.
- The tone and context of the original imperative sentence can influence how you rephrase it as an interrogative.
