            Types of Sentences
            There are four types of sentences as explained below :
            •  Declarative/assertive sentence: A sentence which gives information and marks a bold statement. It may state a fact.
              Most of the sentences of English language are assertive sentences. For example:

              I have a beautiful dress.

              My friend is an excellent badminton player.
            •  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.
            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.
