A declarative sentence is a type of sentence that makes a statement or expresses an opinion. It provides information or conveys facts without posing questions or giving commands.
Imagine declarative sentences as traffic signs on a road trip. They give clear directions, telling you where to go without any ambiguity or confusion.
Interrogative Sentence: An interrogative sentence is a type of sentence that asks a question. It seeks information from the reader or listener.
Exclamatory Sentence: An exclamatory sentence is a type of sentence that expresses strong emotion or excitement. It often ends with an exclamation mark.
Compound Sentence: A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions (e.g., "and," "but," "or"). It allows for more complex ideas to be expressed in writing.
