LESSON 2:
SENTENCE TYPES
AND STRUCTURE
SENTENCE TYPES
1.Declarative
 Is generally a simple statement that is used to
provide information about something or state a fact.
It ends with a full stop or a period. It is the most
common type of sentence in the English language.
 Example:
 She walks to school every day.
 The sky is blue.
I love pizza.
 The movie was entertaining.
1. The cat is sleeping on the couch.
 2. Interrogative
 Is defined as “a sentence that asks a question or makes a request for
information.” According to the Collins Dictionary, an interrogative
sentence is one “denoting a form or construction used in asking a
question.”
 Example:
 What is your name?
 Why are you late?
 Where are you from?
 When can you come?
 Whose book is this?
 Whom did you meet?
 Which book is it?
1. How will you do it?
3. Imperative
Isa sentence that expresses a direct
command, request, invitations,
warning, or instruction. Imperative
sentences do not have a subject;
instead, a directive is given to an
implied second person. For example,
the sentence “Wash the dinner plates”
commands the implied subject to wash
the dishes.
EXAMPLE:
•Bring me a glass of water.
•Don't ever touch my phone.
•Give me a pen and a pencil.
•Play with intensity and courage.
•Remember me when we are parted.
•Never forget the person who loves you.
•Take a step and don't move.
•Don't be excited about everything without
reason.
 4. Exclamatory
 A sentence containing an exclamation or strong emphasis: “Oh,
no!” and “What a large dog!” are exclamatory sentences.
 Example:
 Oh, That is excellent!
 I have no idea what they think of us!
 You were amazing!
 He is not doing it right!
 You did a really good job!
 Wow! I really cannot believe we did that!
 My God! Those are some wonderfully great decorations.
