To change a declarative sentence into a question, you can typically add a question word (who, what, when, where, why, how) at the beginning of the sentence, invert the subject and the verb, or add a question mark at the end.
To convert an imperative sentence to a declarative sentence, simply rephrase the sentence to make a statement rather than giving a command. For example, "Close the door" (imperative) can be changed to "Please close the door" (declarative) or "I would like you to close the door" (declarative).
A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses an opinion. It typically ends with a period and is structured in a subject-verb-object format. It does not pose a question or give a command.
To transform a declarative sentence into an interrogative sentence, you typically invert the subject and auxiliary verb. For example, "You are coming" becomes "Are you coming?" In some cases, you may need to add a question word like "what," "where," "why," etc. to the beginning of the sentence.
A declarative sentence can be either positive or negative in nature. A declarative sentence is simply a subject followed by a predicate. For example: I washed the car. 'I' would be the subject of the sentence and 'washed the car' is the predicate. The predicate is pretty much everything that follows the verb in English. It gets more complex if we bring in other languages. So back to our example we would negate the verb 'wash' which is in the past tense. I did not wash the car. In English we also have what we linguists like to call the "dummy do." It helps the verb to create the action. So you can also have things like: I sing. I do not sing. Which is present and habitual. Or John drives his mom's Subaru. (positive declarative habitual present) John can't drive his dad's Lexus. (negative declarative habitual present) He crashed his car. (positive declarative past) Therefore his dad won't let him drive the Lexus. (negative declarative habitual) Hope this helps.

The noun forms for the verb to declare are declarer, declaration, and the gerund, declaring.
Sentences are regarded as declarative when the subject comes before the verb. So as an an example: I am going shopping. You are going shopping at this time of night?
A declarative sentence in natural order is a statement that provides information or expresses a fact. It typically follows the subject-verb-object word order in English, where the subject comes before the verb and the object (if present) comes after the verb.
"It had to come by horse" is a declarative sentence. A declarative sentence is a type of sentence that makes a statement or expresses an opinion. In this sentence, the subject is "it," the verb is "had to come," and the method of transportation is specified as "by horse."

Subject-verb-object is the normal - but by no means the only - order of the main ideas in a simple declarative sentence. "Agreement" is another matter.
