Change the sentence into Assertive sentence:
How beautiful is the night!
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → The night is very beautiful.
Exclamatory to assertive:
An assertive sentence is a plain statement ending with a full stop.
| Change | Exclamatory | Assertive | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening words | How | very | The exclamatory word “How” is replaced by “very” (or “extremely”), which keeps the strength of the feeling. |
| Word order | How beautiful is the night | The night is very beautiful | The normal order subject + verb + complement is used: The night + is + very beautiful. |
| End mark | (!) | (.) | The exclamation mark becomes a full stop. |
| Full sentence | How beautiful is the night! | The night is very beautiful. |
Example: How tall the tower is! → The tower is very tall.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: The beautiful night is today. — Incorrect. It adds the idea of "today" and loses the strength of the feeling ("very").
Option 2: The night must be beautiful. — Incorrect. "must be" turns a sure feeling into a guess.
Option 3: The night is not beautiful. — Incorrect. It says the opposite of the exclamation.
