How do you change interrogative sentences to assertive sentences?

The difference between an interrogative sentence and an assertive sentence is usually a matter of an interrogative word at the beginning (much like the questions on this web-site, that tend to begin with how, why, what, when, where, or who). So I could ask, Did you do it? As an assertion, that becomes, you did it. How do I open this box? I opened this box. What do you want for Christmas? You want it for Christmas. Who killed Osama bin Laden? He killed Osama bin Laden. Do you get the picture? You get the picture.
