To turn a statement into a question, you typically rearrange the sentence structure and use a question mark at the end. Questions often start with a helping verb or a 'wh' word like 'who', 'what', 'where', etc., depending on the context. Here’s how to rewrite the given statements as questions:
(a)
Statement: Raman is a cunning boy. Question: Is Raman a cunning boy?
Statement: Piku was in time today. Question: Was Piku in time today?
Statement: We shall go to the park now. Question: Shall we go to the park now?
Statement: They have finished their work. Question: Have they finished their work?
Statement: Noni will get good marks this year. Question: Will Noni get good marks this year?
(b)
Statement: Cows live on grass. Question: Do cows live on grass?
Statement: He sits on the front bench. Question: Does he sit on the front bench?
Statement: Mosquitoes spread malaria. Question: Do mosquitoes spread malaria?
Statement: Lazy boys fail in the examination. Question: Do lazy boys fail in the examination?
Statement: They wear warm clothes in winter. Question: Do they wear warm clothes in winter?
Each question follows a specific format that typically starts with the helping verb, auxiliary verb, or 'do/does' for present simple sentences, followed by the subject and the main verb. This makes it clear and straightforward to convert statements into questions.
