Positive and negative Sentences

• Assertive sentences are of two types- affirmative and negative.

• Affirmative refers to the position sentences. The sentences in the exercise are assertive.

• The negative sentences are those that contain words like 'no,' 'never,' and 'not.'

• While transforming affirmative sentences into negative, we need to keep the meaning of the original sentence intact.
