                                  Example: I sold the car.           The house was painted by Gargi.

                                  Gargi painted the house.
              Sentences are also categorised based on purpose as follows:


                                    Declarative Sentences                  Interrogative Sentences

                                         instructions


              Examples:
              Declarative Sentences
              •  We own a parrot.

              Interrogative Sentences
              •  Have you read this book?
              •  Why are you so quiet?
              Imperative Sentences
              •  Wash your dirty clothes.
              •  Feed the dog.
              Exclamatory Sentences
              •  Your dog is so big!
              •  Alas! We lost the game.

              Paragraph
              A group of sentences forms a paragraph. A paragraph works around a common idea. If you want to write for another
              idea, create a new paragraph. For example, if you're writing about colleges, the first paragraph may contain sentences
              referring to names, locations, and other details about different colleges in a particular city. In the next paragraph, you
              can describe what you like about a particular college.


                      Greetings

              There are many ways to greet when you meet someone. Greetings differ when you meet your colleagues at work or meet
              friends. Similarly, there are many ways to say goodbye when leaving for the day. Greeting also depends on who we are
              talking to and even the time of the day. Overall, greetings help us start a nice conversation.
