Types of Sentences in English with Examples

Learning how to write and speak good sentences is the key to your success as
a powerful English communicator. However, this does not mean that you can
use sentences in a similar form throughout your speech or writing. That will
only make it too monotonous and uninteresting. So, to help you make your
speech and writing interesting, this article will help you with the different types
of sentences along with examples.

The Sentence Types in English Grammar

The English language gives every learner the liberty to make good use of the
language in the best possible way. Using different types of sentences will make
your speech or writing sound and look well-structured and aid you in getting
your thoughts and ideas across to your target audience in a clear and effective
manner. This will also allow you to express your emotions and let your readers
experience what you want them to experience.

The Four Different Types of Sentences

There are four different kinds of sentences in English grammar and they are as
follows:
Declarative or Assertive Sentence – A declarative or assertive sentence is a
sentence that is informative and ends with a period or a full stop.
Example:
• I like fantasy novels.

Imperative Sentence – An imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses a

command, an order, or a request.
Example:
• Close the door.

Interrogative Sentence – An interrogative sentence is one that is used to

question something, and it ends with a question mark.
• What is the name of the movie you were watching?

Exclamatory Sentence – An exclamatory sentence is one which is used to

express sudden and strong emotions, and it ends with an exclamation mark.
You can also use interjections to form exclamatory sentences.

Example:
• That was a great match!
