Answer 1

Answer:

1. When we speak or write we use words. We generally use these words in groups; as,

Little Jack Homer sat in a corner.

A group of words like this, which makes complete sense, is called

a Sentence.

Kinds of Sentences

2. Sentences are of four kinds:

(1) Those which make statements or assertions; as, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

(2) Those which ask questions; as Where do you live?

(3) Those which express commands, requests, or entreaties; as,

Be quiet.

Have mercy upon us.

(4) Those which express strong feelings; as,

How cold the night is!

What a shame!

A sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called a Declarative or Assertive

sentence.

A sentence that asks a question is called an Interrogative sentence.

A sentence that expresses a command or an entreaty is called an Imperative sentence.

A sentence that expresses strong feeling is called an Exclamatory sentence.
