What is Sentence?

The Sentence

When we speak or write we use words. We generally use these words in groups; as, little jack Horner sat in a corner.

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

Kinds of Sentences

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 or Have mercy upon us.

4. Those which express strong feelings; as, How cold the night is! Or 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.
