Types of Sentences
 DECLARATIVE SENTENCE
Page 5 of 19
  INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE
 IMPERATIVE SENTENCE
 EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE

Declarative Sentences
A declarative sentence is a simple statement that
relay information. It can be simple. compound or
complex sentence.

Examples
I love my dog.
My new car is black.
George brushes his teeth twice day.
She doesn’t study German language on Saturday.
I and my sister don’t see each other anymore.
Tomorrow early morning first I go to morning walk.
Chemistry is my favorite subject, but my brother really likes
social studies.
They go to a gallery every Sunday.
Her shoes were brand new, and now it is missing.
You go to a vacation every summer.

What is a Declarative Sentence?

Declarative sentences, in their simplest form, are sentences that contain a subject and a
predicate, with the ability to describe one or more states or events. If the sentence describes
more than one situation, conjunction is usually used in these sentences. A comma should be
used before the conjunction used in the middle of the sentence. Otherwise, it is possible to
lose points, especially in essay missions.

Basic Form of Declarative Sentence

Page 6 of 19
The declarative sentence includes a simple statement. For example, the following sentences
are the simplest declarative sentence structures:

1. He is running.
2. Susan is leaving here.
3. He wanted to spend time with him.
4. He’s back from school.
5. Studying.
6. He left here.
7. He just asked you.

All the sentences you see above contain a subject. The detail you see regarding the Subject’s
action has made the sentence declarative. Declarative sentences are usually established in
articles that need to be written in a formal language or in environments that need to be spoken
in a formal language. The grammatical structure of these sentences is flawless. Transpose
sentence structures are not used in such forms. Therefore, it will be possible to say that
declarative sentences contain the most classical English rules.

Complex Form of Declarative Sentence

As we have already mentioned, declarative sentences do not have to express only one state or
subject. The most basic feature of these sentences is that they are informative and contain
statements. So, such sentences don’t have to be simple and short, as you can see in the
examples above. Much longer and complex sentences can also be evaluated in the class of
declarative sentence examples. In order to construct such sentences, of course, you need some
conjunctions. These conjunctions can be one or more of the following:

1. and
2. yet
3. or
4. but
5. instead
6. instead of
7. however
8. because
9. besides
10. therefore

The words we listed above are just a few of the dozens of different words you can use. Of
course, we could not include all of them on this list. The English language is a very broad and
comprehensive language, especially in conjunctions. Thanks to the above conjunctions, you
can have statements that are parallel or contradicting with each other in a sentence. You will
also be able to establish cause and effect relationships or more detailed semantic relationships
in a sentence.

Let’s examine a few examples sentences:

Page 7 of 19
 1. Nowadays, Selena was very bored, yet, when she saw you, she started to feel
good again.
2. They could not decide which cafe they wanted to enter; therefore, they continued
walking.
3. I fell asleep for a while after making coffee today; however, I still feel very tired
and exhausted.
4. He especially likes playing basketball, and the other generally enjoys football.
5. I have a lot of homework these days, but I do not have any lessons to study.
6. Today I can cook a perfect meal, or we can go and have a romantic dinner in a
luxury restaurant.

There may be declarative versions of different sentence structures. As you know, we use
many sentences with different structures in daily life. The most popular of these are
interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory sentences. By using each of these sentences, with a
few minor changes, you can create declarative sentences. Here are the different alternatives:

Interrogative Sentences
An interrogative sentence contains a direct
question, and an interrogation mark is put at the end
of the sentence.

Examples
Where do you live?
Why haven’t you started studying?
What kind of music do you want to dance to?
Which car would make you happier to ride?
Which do you prefer, white or red?
Who finished your meal today, raise your hands?
Whom did you call to a party tomorrow?
Page 8 of 19
Interrogative sentence
Another type of sentence that you can use when you need to express yourself during the day
is Interrogative sentences. You usually use this kind of sentence when you want to ask a
question to someone else. The question you will be asking maybe a rhetorical or a real
question. You can use these phrases in an official meeting while chatting with your close
friends intimately throughout the day. Therefore, it is necessary to learn how to set up such
sentences correctly. When setting up such sentences, you may often have problems with how
the auxiliary verb should be placed. In such cases, it is useful to learn the sentence structure
thoroughly in order not to break the grammar rules.

Here are a few examples:

1. If you feel so bad these days, why did you go to that party yesterday?
2. If you worked hard, why are you so afraid of the exam that will take place today?
3. Why haven’t you spoken a word with me for how many days you have been with me?
4. How many people have you met these days?
5. You look extremely pale, are you sick?

Imperative Sentences
When we ask questions positively, we sometimes use Imperative. In
such uses, we aim to offer the person to do something.
When the person in front of us makes such sentences, we need to
answer him as yes or no.
We often need to use the command mode when we want to quickly
warn someone in everyday life, to give orders, or to communicate in
informal language.
The imperative mode is much easier than the other modes in
English because when you need to use it, we don’t have to add any
verbs. In this case, it has a very simple structure.

Examples
Positive questions with imperatives
Shall we go out?
Shall we go to the cinema?
Shall we sleep?
Page 9 of 19
Negative questions with imperatives
Shall we not go to the cinema?
Shall we not eat dinner here?
 Negative sentence with imperatives
Do not talk to me like that.
Do not make that sound.
Do not walk very faster.

Imperative Sentence
Definition of Imperative Sentence

An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that gives instructions or advice, and expresses a
command, an order, a direction, or a request. It is also known as a jussive or a directive.
Depending upon its delivery, an imperative sentence may end with an exclamation mark or a
period. It is usually simple and short, but could be long and complex, depending upon its
context.

Types of Imperative Sentence

1. Share a Wish or Request – This type of imperative sentence shares polite wishes and
requests with someone, such as, “Have a good day!”
2. Offer an Invitation – This type of imperative sentence extends an invitation, such as,
“Please join me for dinner tonight.”
3. Share a Command/Request – This type of imperative sentence gives a command or
shares a request, such as, “Stop beating the dog!”
4. Give Instructions – This type of imperative sentence gives instructions, such as, “Let
him cool down, and then ask about the incident.”

Everyday Use of Imperative Sentence

1. Consider vegetables over meat. (Advice)

2. Leave this luggage at the gate. (Direction)
3. Come here, check these documents, and give me your opinion. (Order)
4. Put it down now! (Command)
5. Please clean your room. (Request)

Function of Imperative Sentence
An imperative sentence plays an important role in writing as well as in speaking. It is not
very common in literary writing, but very important in everyday conversational language.
Besides this, it is commonly used in advertisements, manuals, instructions and road signs. It
is more intentional as compared to an exclamatory sentence, as it requires a specific audience
to be addressed. Writers mostly use imperatives to give clear and straightforward instructions,
commands, or to express displeasure, likeness, fondness, and love through their writings.

Exclamatory Sentences

Sentences containing surprise or emotion are called

exclamation sentences. An exclamation point is placed at the
end of such sentences.

How beautiful this city is!

Sara, wipe the board!
Wow, I missed the service!
Don’t talk, get out!
Please, help me now!
Okay now, it’s beautiful!
What a coincidence this is!
Wait, that bridge is rotten!
I’m so mad at her!
God, I’m in heaven!
Why don’t you listen to my words!
Come her Erika, quick!
Stay there, don’t come inside!
Hey, no smoking in here!

Exclamatory Sentence

Page 11 of 19
An exclamatory sentence conveys a strong emotion and ends with an exclamation mark (!).
An exclamatory sentence, or exclamation, is a more forceful version of a declarative
sentence. In other words, an exclamatory sentence makes a statement (just like a declarative
sentence), but it also conveys excitement or emotion.

Exclamatory sentences are common in adverts and informal correspondence (e.g., emails,
texts). They are quite rare in business correspondence, where a level head usually needs to be
portrayed.

Easy Examples of Exclamatory Sentences

Here are some examples of exclamatory sentences:

 You were meant to be back yesterday!
(expresses anger)
 Jeepers! You scared the life out of me!
(expresses surprise)
 We won!
(expresses happiness)
 This puzzle is driving me up the wall!
(expresses frustration)
 You're adorable!
(expresses love)
 It's a boy!
(expresses joy)
 I'm really going to miss this place!
(expresses sorrow)

more about exclamatory sentences today!
Is your writing a little dull? Add some sass and punch to your writing with exclamatory
sentences.  What am I talking about?  Well, I am not talking about sentences that make a
casual statement, ask a question, or give a command.  Instead, they convey some type of
strong emotion.  And how exactly do you express a strong emotion?  It’s easy.  Write a
declarative sentence filled with emotion and use this punctuation mark (!)!
It’s called an exclamation mark and is used to show a vast range of emotions…love, anger,
happiness, confusion, elation or any other typed of exuberant emotion. It is a crucial element
of exclamatory sentences!
Exclamation marks are reserved for powerful feelings, so you won’t find them used to
express a matter-of –fact emotion or serenity, or a sense of calm.  Instead, they deliver a jolt
of feeling, which is why they’re so common in everyday speech and part of exclamatory
sentences.  However, exclamation marks need to be used sparingly in your writing. Use them
to emphasize a point but be careful not to overdo. For instance, can you imagine reading line
after line of sentences like this!!

Page 12 of 19
And when it comes to academic writing, such as essays and reports, don’t use exclamatory
sentences at all, unless you are using them in quotations.
Grammatically speaking, formal English requires exclamations to begin with either the
word what or how.  But in everyday informal English you’ll find exclamations can begin with
any word, as you’ll see in the examples of exclamatory sentences to follow.  But first, two
more grammar rules you need to know about.

Rule Number One: If the noun in your sentence is plural, the correct choice is what, not how.
 Exclamatory Sentences: “What exceptional children these are!” is correct.
 Exclamatory Sentences: “How exceptional children these are!” is incorrect.
 Exclamatory Sentences: What is acceptable with singular nouns as well.
 Exclamatory Sentences: “What an exceptional child this is!”
The emotion portrayed in the above examples is one of astonishment.  You’ll quickly see that
any emotion can be expressed with exclamations.

Rule Number Two: When punctuating an exclamatory sentence, the exclamation mark should
be at the sentence end, not in the middle of the sentence.
 Exclamatory Sentences: “Fantastic, we closed the deal!”  is correct.
 Exclamatory Sentences: “Fantastic! we closed the deal.” is incorrect.

Examples of exclamatory sentences

The following sentences are all examples of exclamations. See if you can determine the
emotion expressed in each:

1. Exclamatory Sentences: No, you did not have permission to stay out this late!
2. Exclamatory Sentences: I can’t figure this out!
3. Exclamatory Sentences: Our team won the championship!
4. Exclamatory Sentences: I don’t know what happened here!
5. Exclamatory Sentences: I simply adore you!
6. Exclamatory Sentences: I just won the lottery!
7. Exclamatory Sentences: My life will never be the same without you!
8. Exclamatory Sentences: Oh, I didn’t see you come in!
9. Did you find the emotion easy to determine?  Here are the emotions the writer had in
mind…
10. Exclamatory Sentences: No, you did not have permission to stay out this late! (anger)
11. Exclamatory Sentences: I can’t figure this out! (frustration)
12. Exclamatory Sentences: Our team won the championship! (happiness)
13. Exclamatory Sentences: I don’t know what happened here! (confusion)
14. Exclamatory Sentences: I simply adore you! (love)
15. Exclamatory Sentences: I just won the lottery! (elation)
16. Exclamatory Sentences: My life will never be the same without you! (sorrow)
17. Exclamatory Sentences: Oh, I didn’t see you come in! (surprise)

After reading the sentences a second time, couldn’t you just feel the emotion?
There will be times when you see an exclamation mark used in an imperative sentence, like
this:
 Come here now!

Page 13 of 19
  Be sure you don’t use an exclamation mark if you’re using “please” in your sentence. 
Instead, use a simple period.
 Please come here now.
 An interrogative sentence can become an exclamation, too.  Like this…
 What did you do to the dog’s hair!

Exclamatory Words
Exclamatory words are words that generate a strong emotional response.  Here is a list of
common ones but you can certainly add your own ideas, so you’ll have a quick and ready list
of exclamatory words to use in your writing.

 Wow!
 Brilliant!
 Awesome!
 Ouch!
 Amazing!
 Bravo!
 Fantastic!
 Tremendous!
 Geronimo!
 Timber!
 Eureka
 Hooray!
 Wowsers!
 Gosh!
 Jeepers!
 Magnificent!
 Unbelievable!

Exclamatory words that can stand alone as a sentence while expressing emotions or reactions
are called interjections. Interjections don’t require a subject or verb to express a thought. 
However, they can be inserted in a sentence by using commas.

 Exclamatory Sentences: Wow, that was a thrilling ride!

 Exclamatory Sentences: Brilliant, you solved the puzzle!
 Exclamatory Sentences: Awesome, you got the job!
 Exclamatory Sentences: Ouch, that really hurts!

By sprinkling your writing with appropriate exclamatory sentences, you’ll find you’ve added
excitement to your story or prose.  But keep in mind a little goes a long way.  If you
emphasize everything, you end up emphasizing nothing.  Exclamations aren’t appropriate for
underlining points that could easily be made with a declarative statement.  If you do that,
your readers will become suspicious of your sincerity – and that’s the last thing a good writer
wants.

Page 14 of 19
Instead, use exclamatory sentences to show sincere, honest emotion to pull your reader into
your words.
