CLASS VI GRAMMAR TYPES OF SENTENCES
There are four types of English sentence, classified by their purpose:
- declarative sentence (statement)
- interrogative sentence (question)
- imperative sentence (command)
- exclamatory sentence (exclamation)
1. Declarative or statement sentence makes a statement i.e., they tell us something or gives us information. The sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop/period. ( .) For e.g., I like coffee and ice cream.
2. Interrogative sentence ask question i.e., they want information. The sentence ends with a question mark (?) e.g., 1. Do you like coffee?
3. Imperative sentence give command or requests. The sentence ends with a full stop. The imperative sentence has an invisible "YOU". e.g., (You) Stand up.
4. Exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotions/surprise. The sentence ends with an exclamatory mark (!). It is different from Interjections. Interjections are words which express sudden feelings or emotions like WOW! Hurray! etc.
e.g., What a beautiful scene! (Exclamatory sentence)
