John has just developed the ability to convert a declarative sentence (e.g., "i like pizza") into both a question (e.g., "do i like eating pizza?") and an imperative (e.g., "i must eat pizza!"). this would indicate that he now is aware of
He is now aware of transformational grammar. It is a system
of language breakdown

between the probable sentences of a linguistic and uses methods or guidelines (which
are called transformations) to signify these relationships.
