The sentence

When we speak or write we use words. We generally use these words in groups; as,
Little Jack Homer sat in a corner.
A group of words like this, which makes complete sense, is called
a Sentence.

Kinds of Sentences

Sentences are of four kinds:

  1. Those who make statements or assertions; as Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
  2.  Those who ask questions; such as Where do you live?
  3. Those which express commands, requests, or entreaties; as,
    Be quiet.
    Have mercy upon us.
  4. Those who express strong feelings; as,
    How cold the night is!
    What a shame!
  • A sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called a Declarative or Assertive sentence.
  • A sentence that asks a question is called an Interrogative sentence.
  • A sentence that expresses a command or an entreaty is called an Imperative sentence.
  • A sentence that expresses strong feelings is called an Exclamatory sentence.

SUBJECT AND PREDICATE

(1) We name some person or thing;

(2) Say something about that person or thing.

3. When we make a sentence:

In other words, we must have a subject to speak about and we must say or predicate
something about that subject.

Hence every sentence has two parts:

The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about. This is called the Subject of the sentence.

The part that tells something about the Subject. This is called the Predicate of the sentence.

The Subject of a sentence usually comes first, but occasionally it is put after the
Predicate as:
Here comes the bus.
Sweet are the uses of adversity.

In Imperative sentences the Subject is left out; as,
Sit down. [Here the Subject You is understood].
Thank him. [Here too the Subject You is understood.]
