Sentence and its Kinds

A Sentence is a group of words arranged in such a way so as to give complete meaning as well as sense. e.g.:

Old people walk very slowly.

NOTE: A Sentence begins with a Capital Letter and ends with a Full Stop or a Question Mark or an Exclamatory Mark.

Let us now learn the kinds of Sentences. There are five kinds of Sentences and they are:

a. Assertive or Declarative Sentence.

b. Imperative Sentence.

c. Interrogative Sentence.

d. Optative Sentence

e. Exclamatory Sentence.

a. Assertive or Declarative Sentence: It’s a sentence that asserts or declares or states something. In other words, in such a sentence, a statement is made, which can be Affirmative (Positive) or Negative. e.g.,

i. I always trust God. (Positive)

ii. All that glitters is not gold. (Negative)

b. Imperative Sentence: It is a sentence that expresses a command, a request or an advice. e.g.:

i. Do as I tell you. (Command)

ii. Please, give me a glass of water. (Request)

NOTE: Assertive and Imperative sentences need full stops at the end.
