2. Kinds of Sentences





               A group of words that contains a verb and makes complete sense is called a

          sentence. A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), or a

          question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!).

          Kinds of Sentences


               Sentences are of four kinds :


               1. Declarative       2. Interrogative       3. Imperative       4. Exclamatory

                                              My mother makes yummy idles.




          The above sentences declare something or state a fact. Such sentences are

          called declarative sentences.          Declarative sentences are also called assertive

          sentences. They end with a full stop (.).
