Writing tips often include suggestions to write
better sentences, combine short sentences,
or construct good sentences. That’s all well
and good but what about the sentences
themselves? Do we need to know the basic
function of a sentence? Knowing the basics
could actually improve your writing by
giving you a concrete foundation on which
to build.
There are four different types of
sentences. Each type has a
function, but a sentence only has
one function. A sentence is used
to make a statement, express
feeling, give a command or ask a
question. That’s all a sentence
can do and that’s the only
functions it can have.
A declarative sentence makes a
statement or expresses opinion. It
declares something and ends with a
period.
Example:
I’m going to town. (I’ve declared
something I’m going to do.)
I don’t like the new mayor. (I’ve
expressed opinion.)
An imperative sentence has a little more
responsibility; it can make a request, give a
command or direction and can end with a
period or an exclamation point.
Example:
Will you please open the door. (This is
considered making a request or giving
direction and not a question so it doesn’t need
a question mark.)
An interrogative sentence is like an interrogation;
it asks questions and ends with a question
mark- or jail if your interrogation doesn’t go
well. I’m kidding, of course, but you get the
idea about a sentence being interrogative.
Example:
Did you use a question mark?
Did you write proper sentences?
And finally we come to the exclamatory sentence
which is full of emotion and almost shouts
from the rooftop.
Example:
“I am an emotional, strong sentence!”
Yes, it ends with an exclamation point and
contrary to popular belief, using one
exclamation point is plenty.
That would be all, thank
you 

The four types of sentences and their purpose

  • 1.
  • 2. Writing tips often include suggestions to write better sentences, combine short sentences, or construct good sentences. That’s all well and good but what about the sentences themselves? Do we need to know the basic function of a sentence? Knowing the basics could actually improve your writing by giving you a concrete foundation on which to build.
  • 3. There are four different types of sentences. Each type has a function, but a sentence only has one function. A sentence is used to make a statement, express feeling, give a command or ask a question. That’s all a sentence can do and that’s the only functions it can have.
  • 4. A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses opinion. It declares something and ends with a period. Example: I’m going to town. (I’ve declared something I’m going to do.) I don’t like the new mayor. (I’ve expressed opinion.)
  • 5. An imperative sentence has a little more responsibility; it can make a request, give a command or direction and can end with a period or an exclamation point. Example: Will you please open the door. (This is considered making a request or giving direction and not a question so it doesn’t need a question mark.)
  • 6. An interrogative sentence is like an interrogation; it asks questions and ends with a question mark- or jail if your interrogation doesn’t go well. I’m kidding, of course, but you get the idea about a sentence being interrogative. Example: Did you use a question mark? Did you write proper sentences?
  • 7. And finally we come to the exclamatory sentence which is full of emotion and almost shouts from the rooftop. Example: “I am an emotional, strong sentence!” Yes, it ends with an exclamation point and contrary to popular belief, using one exclamation point is plenty.
  • 8. That would be all, thank you 
