Sentence Types Explained

  • 3. INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE • An interrogative sentence is a sentence that ask a question. Interrogative sentences can be direct or indirect, begin with or without pronouns, and feature yes/no interrogatives, alternative questions, or tag questions. Interrogative sentences often start with interrogative pronouns and end with a question mark. • Interrogative pronouns, typically “WH” words include “who”, “what”, “when”, “where”, “why”, “which”, “whose”, and “whom”. • Auxiliary are also used in interrogative sentences such as “Did” . Examples 1. “Which” sweater goes best with these pants? 2. “Are” you more interested in reading books?
  • 4. Compound sentence • A compound sentence is a sentence that connects two independent clauses(that can stand alone as separate sentence) , typically with a coordinating conjunction like and or but. They are best for combining two or more self-sufficient and related sentences into a single, unified one. • Compound sentences can easily identify by remembering FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So. • Compound sentence can also use a semicolon. Examples 1. I have a pet iguana, and his name is Fluffy. 2. I have a pet iguana; his name is Fluffy. In these examples two independent clauses are used. In example 1 conjunction is used while in example 2 semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses.
