We speak or write with the help of a word or group of words
to express ourselves. Those words are always well arranged as per the
grammatical rules. Otherwise the sense will not be cleared. Hence we can say
that a group of grammatically maintained words, which denotes a complete sense,
is called a sentence.
Example: Jack is a good food ball player. (Not: Jack a good
is player foot ball)
Kinds of sentences
We use a sentence
mostly in two ways:-
Affirmative: - When a sentence affirms or agrees something is
called Affirmative sentence. (HE
CAN DANCE: It means YES, he can dance.)
&
Negative: - When a sentence denies or disagrees something is
called Negative sentence. (HE
CAN’T DANCE: It means NO, he can’t dance.)
|
We express ourselves in many different ways. Some time we
order, some time we ask, sometime we suggest etc. So sentence is categorized in
four kinds, Assertive (Declarative), Interrogative, Imperative and
Exclamatory.
Assertive sentence
Basically when we say something to declare, promise, inform and emphasize
something we use Assertive sentence.
