---

 Day 6 Goal

Day 6 is the control day.
Here you will learn how to:

• Convert one sentence into multiple forms
• Move confidently between Positive, Negative, Questions
• Understand meaning change during transformation

---

Core Structure (Never Forget)

Subject + has / have + been + verb + ing

👉 This structure remains the same in all transformations 👉 Only position of words changes

---

 Model 1 – Positive → Negative → Question

Base Sentence (Positive)

• I have been studying English.

Negative

• I have not been studying English.

Yes / No Question

• Have I been studying English?

WH Question

• What have I been studying?

---

 Model 2 – Using “since / for”

Positive

Negative

• She has not been working here since 2019.

Yes / No Question

• Has she been working here since 2019?

WH Question

• Since when has she been working here?

 Model 3 – Continuous Action Emphasis

Positive

• They have been waiting outside.

Negative

• They have not been waiting outside.

Yes / No Question

• Have they been waiting outside?

⚠️ Common Transformation Errors & Fixes

• ❌ Have they waiting outside?
  ✅ Have they been waiting outside?
• ❌ Has she been work here long?

 Meaning Change Awareness

• I have worked here.

👉 Sentence transformation is not only grammar change 👉 It also changes focus & meaning

Practice – Transform the Sentences

1. She has been preparing for exams. → Negative → Yes/No Question → WH Question
2. We have been living here for years. → Negative → Yes/No Question → WH Question
3. He has been learning English recently. → Negative → Yes/No Question → WH Question

(Think slowly — accuracy matters more than speed)
