ALL ABOUT KINDS OF SENTENCES ACCORDING TO USE

There are four kinds of sentences:


1. Declarative Sentence (a statement)

2. Imperative Sentence (a command)

3. Interrogative Sentence (a question)

4. Exclamatory Sentence (an exclamation)


1. A declarative sentence is a sentence that states a fact. Such sentences are simple statements. They state, assert or declare something.


Examples:








   Jan is a student.









           She lives in a big city.















 The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.


















Bacon and eggs make a great breakfast.










2. An imperative sentence gives a command, makes a request, or express a wish.


Examples:









Go to your room. (an order)

















Please lend me your pen. (a request)
















 Have a nice day today. (a wish)

















Go feed the cat.












3. An exclamatory sentence expresses sudden and strong feelings, such as surprise, wonder, pity, sympathy, happiness or gratitude.


Examples:



 



Oh What a shame!




















My pie is ruined!
















I can't believe it!











4. An interrogative sentence asks a question.
