Explanation:  

• (a) In English, negative sentences are formed by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary or helping verb.

• Negative sentences are declarative statements, that relay information believed to be true.

• Negative sentences are typically formed by adding the negative word "not" after the helping verb.

• Negative sentences can also make use of the words "do" or "will" (including "do," "did," and "does") before "not." It's also possible to substitute "does not" with the contraction "doesn't."

• (b) An interrogative sentence is a sentence that poses a direct question. Interrogative sentences can be direct or indirect, begin with or without pronouns, and feature yes/no interrogatives, alternative questions, or tag questions.
• Interrogative sentences often start with interrogative pronouns such as what, when, where, how etc. and end with a question mark(?).

• It asks us something or requests information (as opposed to a statement which tells us something or gives information). Interrogative sentences always require an answer.

• (c) An affirmative sentence is a sentence that affirms (rather than negates) a proposition.

• The word "affirmative" simply means that you are stating something is so.
• In English grammar, an affirmative statement is any sentence or declaration of a positive way.
• An affirmative statement can also be referred to as an assertive sentence or affirmative.
• (d) The sentences can be created in both active and passive voice.
• The voice of a verb communicates whether the subject is the doer in the sentence and has performed or the receiver and has received the action of the verb.  
• In Passive Voice, the activity is communicated by the action word gotten by the subject.
• And to convert a sentence to passive voice in the past simple tense will follow the below rule- Was/were + subject + Verb3 + by + agent? (Passive Voice)

• (e) An exclamatory sentence, also known as an exclamation sentence or an exclamative clause, is a statement that expresses strong emotion/feelings/excitement.
• In English grammar, an exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark(!) also called an exclamation point.
