"THE SENTENCE"
1. 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 SENTENCE"
2. Sentences are of four kinds:-
(1) Those which make statements or assertions ; as ,
........ Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
(2) Those which ask question ; as ,
.......... Where do you live ?
(3) Those which express commands , requests , or entreaties ; as ,
.............. Be quiet.
(4) Those which express strong feelings ; as ,
............ How very cold the night is !
.............. What a shame !
A sentence that makes statements 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 .
