Answers
Answer:
Assertive or Declarative Sentence
A sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called an assertive or declarative sentence. Assertive sentence ends with a period.
Eg:
I love swimming
David plays guitar well
Interrogative Sentence
A sentence that asks a question is called an interrogative sentence. Interrogative sentence ends with question mark.
Eg:
Are you going for a walk?
Can I use your stick pen?
Explanation:
Example for interrogative into assertive sentences:
Are we meant to spend all our days seeking happiness?
If the interrogative sentence is positive, change it in a negative sentence. The given example is positive. Thus, 'are not' should be used in the sentence to make it assertive.
Thus, we are not meant to spend all days seeking phappiness is the correct answer according to the rules.
Example for assertive sentences into interrogative sentences:
John is a sincere boy.
Both positive and negative forms of the same sentence can be used to interrogate an assertive sentence.
Answer: Is John a sincere boy

Answer:
Interrogative sentences end with a question mark and have words like 'don't', 'doesn't', 'isn't' , these always have contractions (Isn't, hasn't) whereas assertive sentences are statements which don't have negative words like 'isn't','don't',etc.
Example:
1.He is a good person.(Assertive)
Isn't he a good person? (Interrogative)
2.He likes music.(Assertive)
Doesn't he like music?(Interrogative)
3. Everyone wishes to be happy.(Assertive)
Doesn't everyone wish to be happy?(Interrogative)
