Answer 2

TOPIC:- SENTENCE TRANSFORMATION

Required answer:-

• Were we not singing a song now?

Explanation:-

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎First of all, let's understand the question. In the question, we've been given a sentence "She is singing a song now", and we've been asked to transform the sentence by following the some conditions. The conditions are listed below.

• The subject of the sentence has to be changed into first person plural pronoun.
• The tense of the sentence has to be changed into past tense with respect to the given tense.
• And finally, the sentence has to be changed into negative-interrogative form. $\:$

1. Changing the subject:

The subject of the given sentence is "She" and it is a pronoun. This has to be replaced with first person plural pronoun. The first person plural pronouns are: 'we', 'us', 'our' and 'ourselves'. From these, we have to use the pronoun "we", since it is the appropriate one. So, on replacing 'she' by 'we' in the sentence, we get - We are singing a song now. And kindly note that the auxiliary verb has also been changed according to the pronominal change.

2. Changing the tense:

The verb in the given sentence is "are singing" and it is in Present Progressive Tense. As per the given condition, we have to change the tense to past form with respect to Present Progressive Tense. So, the tense should be changed to "Past Progressive Tense". On changing the tense we get - We were singing a song now.

3. Changing the form of the sentence:

We've to change the sentence to interrogative form and it should be in negative too. First let's make the sentence negative by considering the rules to change a sentence to negative-interrogative form.

Adding "not" after the auxiliary verb - "We were not singing a song now". Now, changing this to interrogative form by transposing the auxiliary verb to starting of the sentence and placing a question mark at the very end of the sentence, we get: Were we not singing a song now?, which is the required answer.
