Transform the next sentences in a way that they have the same meaning.
You’d better leave now.

Tell those people not to smoke.

One question-
1. He never hates me.
2. No one hates him.
3. No man can avoid death.
Are the all sentences those I have written above in negative form or not?

I posted those questions as an example, not as a challenge for you to try to answer.

Are the all sentences those I have written above in negative form or not?-- I would say not really: to me, 'negative form' is of the verb. 'Negative-like' is an adjective that I have heard used.

So I am very ager to know that all of my answers were correct or incorrect.

I didn't take it as a challenge. I took it as you are my teacher and I am your student.

No, as the verbs don't match.
I knew this was correct (even if you still know it now).
I know this is correct.
