To change the sentences into negative and interrogative forms, you need to insert 'not' for negatives and rearrange the sentences for questions. Each sentence follows a specific structure to become negative or interrogative. For example, "He has bent the branch" becomes "He has not bent the branch" for negative and "Has he bent the branch?" for interrogative.

In English grammar, forming negative sentences usually involves adding "not" to the auxiliary or helping verbs (like "has," "will have," or "was"). For interrogative sentences, the helping verb comes before the subject noun. This change in structure helps in expressing negation or asking questions effectively.
