Where there is smoke, there is fire.

In English grammar, transforming a negative sentence into an affirmative one involves rephrasing the sentence to convey the same meaning without using negative words like 'no', 'not', or 'never'. This skill is essential for enhancing language proficiency and comprehension.

Negative Sentence:

There is no smoke without fire.

Analysis:

• The sentence uses the negative word 'no'.
• It conveys that smoke does not exist without the presence of fire.
• The underlying meaning is that smoke indicates the presence of fire.

Affirmative Transformation:

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

Explanation:

• The affirmative sentence removes the negative word 'no'.
• It directly states the correlation between smoke and fire.
• The meaning remains unchanged: smoke signifies the presence of fire.
