The Sentence

We use words to express our thoughts and feelings. These words are arranged in groups. Some of these groups make complete sense. For example:

1. Goa has fine beaches.

2. When did you go to Goa?

3. How beautiful the sunset was!

A group of words that makes complete sense is called a sentence.

A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.) a question mark (?) or a mark of exclamation (!).

The Phrase

Some group of words makes sense but not complete sense. For example:

1. at night

2. in the park

3. of great importance

4. joys and sorrows

A group of words that makes sense but not complete sense is called a phrase

Types of sentence

Sentences are of four kinds

1. Assertive Sentence

2. Interrogative Sentence

3. Imperative Sentence

Let us discuss for them one by one

1. Assertive Sentence

An assertive sentence says or states something; it can be either affirmative or negative. We put full stop at the end of this sentence.

2. Interrogative Sentence

An interrogative sentence ask a question, we put a mark of interrogation (question mark) (?) at the end of an interrogative sentence.

An imperative sentence expresses a command (order), a request, or an advice, an imperative sentence also needs a full stop at the end of it.

For example:

4. Exclamatory Sentence

An exclamatory sentence expresses some strong feeling; we put a mark of exclamation (!) at the end of an exclamatory sentence.
