Answer:
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. Example: ... Sometimes the subject of a sentence can be hidden, but the verb must be visible and present in the sentence. Verb is called the heart of a sentence.
1) declarative sentence (statement)
2) interrogative sentence (question)
3) imperative sentence (command)
4) exclamative sentence (exclamation
1)Declarative Sentence (statement)
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:
Positive sentence:
I like coffee.
We watched TV last night.
Negative sentence:
I do not like coffee.
We did not watch TV last night.
2)Interrogative Sentence (question)
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:
Positive sentence:
Do you like coffee?
Why did you go?
Negative sentence:
Don't you like coffee?
Why didn't you go?
3)Imperative Sentence (command)
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:
Positive sentence:
Stop!
Give her coffee.
Negative sentence:
Do not stop!
Don't give her coffee.
4)Exclamative Sentence (exclamation)
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
