    Rules: In this rule, affirmative sentences can be transformed into negative sentences by
    using or removing no sooner … than, or as soon as.

    (no sooner+had+subj+verb past participle/no sooner+did+subj+verb base form)

    1. Affirmative: As soon as he saw me he began to weep.


    1. Negative: No sooner did he see me than he began to weep.

    4. Negative: No sooner did he arrive than he sent a message.

    5. Affirmative to Negative Transformation Using ‘none’, ‘but’

    Rules: In this rule, affirmative sentences can be transformed into negative sentences by
    using ‘none’, and ‘but’ in place of ‘only’.
    Examples
    1. Affirmative: Only students are allowed to enter the hall.
    1. Negative: None but the students are allowed to enter the hall.
    5. Affirmative: I like only sweets.
    5. Negative: I like nothing but sweets.
    6. Always ————— Never (Opposite word of Verb, Adjective and Noun)

    If we find the word “Always” in an affirmative sentence, we will write the word “Never”
    instead of that word [Always] and make the opposite word of the verb, adjective, and
    noun at the time of the negative sentence.

    Example:
    Affirmative: I will always remember you.
    Negative: I will never forget you.
    Affirmative: He is always present.
    Negative: He is never absent.
    Affirmative: you should always speak the truth.
    Negative: You should never tell a lie.

    7. Sometimes——— (Not) always (Opposite word of Verb, Adjective, Noun)


    If we find the word “Sometimes” in an affirmative sentence, we will write the word not
    “Always” instead of that word [Sometimes] and make the opposite word of the verb,
    adjective, and noun at the time of the negative sentence.

    For Example:
    Affirmative: The rich are sometimes happy.
    Negative: The rich are not always happy.

    Affirmative: A scholar is sometimes wrong.


    Negative: A scholar is not always right.

    8. All ————— No (Opposite word of Adjective, Verb)


    If we find the word “All” in an affirmative sentence, we will write the word “No” instead of
    that word [All] and make the opposite word of the verb, adjective, and noun at the time of
    the negative sentence.

    For Example:
    Affirmative: All men are mortal.
    Negative: No man is immortal.

    9. Every ——————– No (Opposite word of Verb, Adjective)


    If we find the word “Every” in an affirmative sentence, we will write the word “No”
    instead of that word [Every] and make the opposite word of verb and adjective at the time
    of the negative sentence.

    For Example:
    Affirmative: Everybody is dependent.
    Negative: Nobody is independent.
    Affirmative: Everyone loves flowers.
    Negative: No one hates flowers.
    10. Use “Not only...but also”:

    If an affirmative sentence contains “Both...and” replace it with “Not only...but also” to


    transform the affirmative into a negative sentence.

    E.g. –

    Affirmative – Both John and Jack are guilty.

    Negative – Not only John but also Jack is guilty.

    Q. 1 Transform the following sentences.


    1. He is honest.
    2. I will never forget you.
    3. Jamil is the best student.
    4. As soon as the teacher arrived, the noise stopped.
    5. The old man is too weak to walk.
    6. As soon as I reached the station, the train left.
    7. Everybody dislikes a liar.
