               SENTENCE AND ITS KINDS


              sentence is a group of words giving a complete thought.   sentence must contain a sub ect and a verb.
             here are mainly four types of sentences.  et us learn about them.
            Declarative Sentence

              declarative sentence states a fact and ends with a full stop. For example:
              I love my mother.                                 My car is black.

            Imperative Sentence

             n imperative sentence is a command   a polite re uest or an advice. It ends with an exclamation mark or a
            full stop. For example:
               ring me a glass of water.                         et out of my way

            Interrogative Sentence
             n interrogative sentence asks a  uestion and ends with a  uestion mark. For examples:

                re you ready to go                                 o you have a pen

            Exclamatory Sentence
             n exclamatory sentence expresses excitement or emotion. It ends with an exclamation mark. For examples:
               ow   his is a brilliant idea                      ow strange it was


               PHRASE
              phrase is a group of words that stand together as a single grammatical unit  typically as a part of a clause
            or a sentence.

               phrase  does  not  contain  a  sub ect  and  a  verb  and  conse uently  cannot  convey  a  complete  thought.
              phrase contrasts with a clause.   clause contains a sub ect and a verb and can convey a complete idea.
            For example   anet eats cake daily.

              his sentence has no phrases.  ll parts of the sentence are single words.
            My cousin  anet eats cake daily.  Now we have a phrase. It s a three word phrase functioning as the sub ect of
            this sentence. Note that the phrase itself does not contain its own sub ect and verb.  et s say S for sub ect  O
            for ob ect    for verb and   for phrase.

                he horse  S  runs     at a good speed   .
