Answer :
There are four types of English sentence, classified by their purpose:
- Declarative sentence (statement)
- Interrogative sentence (question)
- Imperative sentence (command)
- Exclamative sentence (exclamation)
Declarative sentences make a statement. They tell us something. They give us information, and they normally end with a full-stop/period.
The usual word order for the declarative sentence is:
subject + verb...
Declarative sentences can be positive or negative. Look at these examples:
I like coffee.
We watched TV last night.
Declarative sentences are the most common type of sentence.
Interrogative sentences ask a question. They ask us something. They want information, and they always end with a question mark.
The usual word order for the interrogative sentence is:
(wh-word +) auxiliary + subject + verb...
Interrogative sentences can be positive or negative. Look at these examples:
Do you like coffee?
Why did you go?
Imperative sentences give a command. They tell us to do something, and they end with a full-stop/period (.) or exclamation mark/point (!).
The usual word order for the imperative sentence is:
base verb...
Note that there is usually no subject—because the subject is understood, it is YOU.
Imperative sentences can be positive or negative. Look at these examples:
Stop!
Give her coffee.
Exclamative sentences express strong emotion/surprise—an exclamation—and they always end with an exclamation mark/point (!).
The usual word order for the exclamative sentence is:
What (+ adjective) + noun + subject + verb
How (+ adjective/adverb) + subject + verb
Look at these examples:
- What a liar he is!
- What an exciting movie it was!
- How he lied!
- How exciting the movie was!
