The transformation is without changing the meaning of the original sentence.
Is that a rule? Whenever we change an affirmative sentence into a negative sentence, if the question does not say anything,
Oops, I pressed on enter without typing the whole sentence. So a negative sentence should never change the meaning of the original sentence? Is that a rule, if the question does not specify anything?
If the question says that transformation should not change the meaning of the sentence then you need to follow it.
Yes, thats right. So what I have done, can be accepted, since nothing is mentioned. Correct?
Yup!
Okay. Thank you.
the 5th numbers says 'i work on sundays' there is 's' in sunday that means i work only on sundays.... isn't that correct? then what will the negative sentence?
It may not suggest that I work only on Sundays Since we don't know the context. If that was the the case then the sentence would be 'I work on on Sundays only.'/ 'I work only on Sundays.' Hence the negative sentence can be 'I don't take off on Sundays.'
