• Imperative sentence: A sentence that makes a request or gives an order, an advice or a command. For example:

              Don’t spend too much time on the phone.
              Please help me with this work.
               • Interrogative sentence: A sentence that asks a direct question and ends with a question mark(?) For example:

              Are you scared of dogs?
              How will you come to my birthday party?
               • Exclamatory sentence: A sentence that shows an excitement or a strong feeling. It ends with an exclamation
              mark (!). For example,

              Wow! You won the badge.
              You dance so well. Congratulations!

            Active and Passive Sentences
            When the subject in the sentence has performed or received the action it becomes the voice of a verb in a sentence.

            In an active sentence the action is performed by the subject. It is a strong and direct way of expressing a sentence.
            For example,

              Shweta is eating chocolate.
              In this example, Shweta is a subject and the action is performed by her.
            A few more examples are:
              Rohin changed his phone cover.
              Neha stitched her new gown.

            In a passive sentence the action is received by the subject. In this form of a sentence, the focus is on the action
            and not on the subject. For example,
              The chocolate is eaten by Shweta.
              In this example, chocolate is a subject and it receives an action eaten.

            Paragraph

            A paragraph is a collection of relevant sentences with a common theme. It begins with an introduction of a theme,
            followed by sentences describing a theme and ends with a statement supporting a common idea. For example,

               Water is an essential component of our life. With its scarcity all across the world it is becoming a threat to the
              existence of life on earth. With rising levels of pollution, water resources are being depleted rapidly. The entire
              Earth consists of 71% water, out of which only a small percentage is drinkable freshwater. It is therefore very
              essential to save water, to save lives.

            Rules for writing a paragraph
               • It begins on a new line.
               • The first line has an indentation.

               • It focuses on a main theme.

            1.14. PARTS OF SPEECH


            Collection of relevant and meaningful words following the rules of a language will form a sentence. Every word
            you use in a sentence has its own role to play. Every word has a specific function to play in a sentence to make it
            meaningful. It falls into different categories to play a different role in a sentence. These categories are called the
            Parts of Speech. It is important to learn these different parts of speech to understand the language well to help
            you construct good sentences for effective communication.
