There are four main types of sentences:
-
Declarative Sentences: These sentences make a statement or express an idea. They end with a period. For example: "The sun is shining brightly."
-
Interrogative Sentences: These sentences ask a question. They end with a question mark. For example: "Are you coming to the party?"
-
Imperative Sentences: These sentences give a command or make a request. They end with a period (in the case of a command) or an exclamation mark (for strong commands). For example: "Please pass the salt."
-
Exclamatory Sentences: These sentences express strong emotions or excitement. They end with an exclamation mark. For example: "What a beautiful day!"
Additionally, some sources may also categorize sentences as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex based on their structure.
