The soildier remains asleep (turn into negative sentence)
Answers
The given sentence ‘The soldier remains asleep’ is an assertive or affirmative sentence. It can be converted into a negative sentence as shown below:
The soldier does not remain asleep.
Explanation
The tense of the given sentence is Simple Present. In order to convert it into negative sentence, we have to use the helping verb + not. The helping verb of this tense is do/does not. Since the subject is singular, we will use ‘does not’.
Original sentence:
The soldier remains asleep
Sentence after being converted into negative sentence:
The soldier does not wake up from his sleep
In both the sentences, the meaning remains the same.
In the second sentence, the word does not signifies that the sentence is a negative sentence whereas the original sentence is an affirmative sentence which does not have any negative term in it.
