complete thought. Language is made up if
words, which work together to from
sentences, which work together to from
paragraphs. In this section, we’ll be focusing
on sentences: how they’re made and how
they behave. Sentences help us to organize
our idea.
4. IMPORTANCE OF SENTENCES
Sentence Structure is important because it provide us with
the framework for the clear written expression of our ideas.
The aim in writing in always to write in complete sentences
which are correctly punctuated.
Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end in either
a full stop, exclamation or question mark.
A complete sentence always contains a verb, expresses a
complete idea and makes sense standing alone.
6. DECLARATIVE SENTENCE
A declarative sentence is the most basic type
of sentence. Its purpose is to relay information,
and it is punctuated with a period.
It’s named appropriately because it declares or
statements something with emotion.

An Interrogative sentence interrogate, or ask
questions. These are direct questions, and they
are punctuated with a question mark.
Questions are framed with WH-words like who,
why, when, where, what, whom, whose and how.
Example:- Why does the sun shine?

An Imperative sentences do not simply state a fact
but rather tell someone to do something. These can
be in the form of friendly advice, basic instructions
or more forceful commands.
It also known as a jussive or a directive sentence.
Example:- Please shut the door to keep out the
bugs.
9. EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE
An Exclamatory sentences are like declarative
sentences in that they make a statement instead of
asking a question, but their main purpose is to
express strong emotion.
They are easily recognized because they end in an
exclamation point instead of a period.
Example:- I said I wanted tacos instead of pizza!
