Explanation:

• Sentences in English are classified into different kinds depending on the message they convey. They are

• 1. An declarative sentence is a sentence which makes a statement or an assertion. It gives us information and normally ends with a full-stop/period(.).

• For instance, (b) Mr Kishore is a rich man.
• We can also mark it an Assertive sentence since it makes a statement or an assertion.

• 2. Interrogative Sentences are those sentences that interrogate for confirmation or pose a question.

• Such sentences end with a question mark(?), carry an interrogative Wh- pronoun or start with a helping verb/"be verb".

• For instance, (a) Can you get aside, please?
• (c) Have you read Shakespeare's Othello?

• 3. An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that expresses a strong feeling of surprise, wonder, emotions, joy or sorrow etc.
• Such sentences end with an exclamatory mark (!).
• For instance, (d) What a fast runner he is! (f) Oh, I wish I were young again!

• 4. Negative sentences are those which carry a negative sense i.e. opposing a positive idea such as in (e) There is no sense in doing that.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Interrogative
2. Declarative
3. Interrogative
4. Exclamatory
5. Negative declarative
6. Exclamatory

Explanation:

1. The first sentence is Interrogative which can be clearly identified by the beginning auxiliary verb and the ending with question mark.

2. This is a declarative sentence because it contains a simple clause and does not command or order or ask a question. It just states that Mr. Kishore is a rich man.

3. This sentence is again an Interrogative sentence. It has an auxiliary verb at the starting and asks a question.

4. This is an exclamatory sentence because it conveys the element of surprise over an action an ends with an exclamatory mark.

5. This is a declarative sentence which can also be further classified as negative declarative. This is because it uses the word "no".

6. This sentence is exclamatory in nature because it conveys the element of nostalgia through the clause and ends with an exclamatory mark.
