Interrogative Sentence

Interrogative to Assertive

To change an interrogative sentence into an assertive one, you generally make the statement affirmative or negative and remove the question mark. For "wh-" questions, you can often turn the question into a statement of fact. 

Method: Remove the helping verb and auxiliary word, rearrange the subject and verb, and end with a full stop.

Interrogative: Did you find the book interesting?

Assertive: You found the book interesting.
