 KIND OF SENTENCES

A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought, and it typically contains a subject and a predicate. There are several types of sentences based on structure and purpose. Here's a breakdown:

### **1. Based on Structure:**

1. **Simple Sentence:**

   - Contains one independent clause (a complete thought).

   - Example: *She reads books.*

2. **Compound Sentence:**

   - Contains two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (e.g., *and, but, or*).

   - Example: *She reads books, and she writes stories.*

3. **Complex Sentence:**

   - Contains one independent clause and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause.

   - Example: *Although she was tired, she continued reading.*

4. **Compound-Complex Sentence:**

   - Contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

   - Example: *Although she was tired, she continued reading, and she finished the book.*

### **2. Based on Purpose:**

1. **Declarative Sentence (Statement):**

   - Makes a statement and ends with a period.

   - Example: *I enjoy reading.*

2. **Interrogative Sentence (Question):**

   - Asks a question and ends with a question mark.

   - Example: *Do you like to read?*

3. **Imperative Sentence (Command or Request):**

   - Gives a command or makes a request. It can end with a period or exclamation mark.

   - Example: *Please close the door.*

4. **Exclamatory Sentence (Exclamation):**

   - Expresses strong emotion and ends with an exclamation mark.

   - Example: *What a beautiful day!*

Each type of sentence has a specific role in communication, allowing for clarity, emphasis, and variety in writing or speech.
