The document provides instructions for changing declarative statements into questions. It explains that to change a statement with a helping verb into a question, the helping verb is moved before the subject and the period is changed to a question mark. It also outlines rules for changing statements with main verbs into questions: use "does" for singular present tense subjects, "do" for plural present tense subjects, and "did" for past tense subjects, changing the verb to its simple form. Examples are given to demonstrate applying these rules to change statements into questions.
