*Let's start our discussion with the question: What is a Sentence?
You see, all the people in the world talk to each other using words. Therefore:
-A collection of meaningful words which are grammatically accurate also is called a 'Sentence'.
For example:
1. Marry and John are travelling to Canada.
2. It has been raining since night.
You will notice that the above sentences not only give a complete meaning but they are grammatically correct also. A sentence contain a Subject and a Predicate. (For a comprehensive understanding of a 'Subject' and a 'Predicate' read our English Grammar Class #02).
A Sentence is different from a Phrase and a Clause because it is a complete sentence and gives a complete meaning.
-What are the kinds of a Sentence?
A many renowned books on English Grammar tell us that there are four(4) kinds of a Sentence but the modern research tells us that there are actually five(5) kinds of a Sentence.
They are---
I) Declarative Or Assertive Sentence
II) Interrogative Sentence
III) Imperative Sentence
IV) Exclamatory Sentence
V) Optative Sentence
We will discuss them one by one.
I) Declarative or Assertive Sentences--------- such sentences are making simple statements.
For example:
1. The fish market is two miles away.
2. We are not searching for new items.
II) Interrogative Sentences--------- such sentences are asking questions.
For example:
1. Is this your workplace?
2. Do you believe in those people?
III) Imperative Sentences--------such sentences are making requests or commands.
For example:
1. Bring me a glass of water, please.
2. Go back to your classroom.
IV) Exclamatory Sentence--------Such sentences are expressing a surprise, shock or disbelief.
For example:
1. Waowww! How beautiful the night is!
2. Alas! Her father died yesterday.
3. Oh, my God! This is unbelievable.
V) Optative Sentences--------such sentences are expressing a wish or desire.
For example:
1. I wish these people could help her.
