EnglishVoice, Narration & Sentence Transformation
Convert the given sentence into an interrogative sentence: I will meet you tomorrow.
- a.Where will you meet me?
- b.How will you meet me?
- c.Will you meet me?
- d.When will you meet me?
Answer: (D) When will you meet me?
PSC's final key accepts 'When will you meet me?'. The statement 'I will meet you tomorrow' supplies information about time ('tomorrow'), so the question that draws out exactly this statement as its answer is the when-question; 'where' and 'how' ask for place and manner, which the sentence does not give. 'Will you meet me?' is a yes/no question that drops the time element altogether. Rule of thumb: adverbial of time - when; place - where; manner - how; reason - why. Several unofficial keys chose (C) 'Will you meet me?' as the plain yes/no interrogative form of the sentence; PSC's final answer key gives (D), which is retained here.
