In English, it begins with a capital letter and ends with a full-stop, or a question mark, or an exclamation mark.The sentence is generally defined as a word or a group of words that expresses a thorough idea by giving a statement/order, or asking a question, or exclaiming.
There are 4 types of sentences listed below:-
This type of structure helps in making statements and stating basic information. You can also express an opinion using them. Put full stop ending this type of the sentence.For example;students failed to complete their essays on time.
You use it when giving demand or instruction. it this in some cases an exclamation mark might be used. This can either be negative or positive depending on a message.EXAMPLE; Do not stop!
You use an exclamatory type to express deep emotions or feelings. It can either be disbelief or happiness, and it must be finished with an exclamation point. Rarely you need to use this type in formal and highly objective writings.For Example got an A in my research paper!
