                                                                                Lesson 14 A. Exercises with तद् and एतद्

Note 1: You can convert a statement into a question by
•    Beginning the statement with अपि or  किम् |
•    Ending the statement with किम् |
For instance:   त्वं फलम् इच्छसि | You want a fruit.
 

अपि  त्वं फलम् इच्छसि?  किं त्वं फलम् इच्छसि?   
त्वं फलम् इच्छसि किम् ?      All three mean: Do you want a fruit?

Note 2. Classical Sanskrit did not have punctuation marks such as ? ! ,  ' '' and other such. It simply had a। and a ॥
Placement of words in the sentence, or the choice of words would tell the reader if the sentence was a query, or if it conveyed amazement or horror etc.
English and other languages do have punctuation marks  and so, many writing in Sanskrit in these modern times have adopted these  marks for the benefit of readers.
