00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about types of sentences. So let's start!
00:10Sentence. We know a sentence is a group of words which makes complete sense.
00:19Each sentence begins with a capital letter.
00:23Each sentence ends with an end mark. It can be a full stop, it can be a question mark, or it can be an exclamation mark.
00:35Each sentence has a verb or a noun or both in it.
00:41For example, I am having dinner. She is going to market. Let's go to the party.
00:51He is a brilliant boy. She is a lovely girl. Have you finished your meal?
01:00How sweet she is! Come and listen to me.
01:06So, all these are the examples of sentences, some short sentences, and they make complete sense.
01:17Sentences can be categorized into different types.
01:22A sentence can be either assertive or declarative sentence, an interrogative sentence, an imperative sentence, an exclamatory sentence, or an optative sentence.
01:39So we will be learning about these types of sentences each one by one.
01:45First of all, let's learn about assertive or declarative sentences.
01:53A sentence that makes a simple statement is called declarative or assertive sentence.
02:03Since statements are also called assertions, so is why declarative sentences are also called assertive sentences.
02:14Statements always end with a period.
02:19He is a smart boy. She is a cute girl. I have an exam tomorrow.
02:28I am already late. She is not a good singer.
02:34They are out for a picnic. They are not going for a picnic today.
02:41So, all these are simple statements that end with a period.
02:49That is, all these sentences make some statement about something or someone, and so they are called declarative or assertive sentences.
03:01They are telling about someone or something.
03:06Declarative or assertive sentences can further be divided into two types.
03:13They can be affirmative or negative.
03:18Affirmative means positive.
03:21That is, these sentences give some positive or affirmative information about something or someone.
03:32He is a good actor. She is a fine dancer.
03:38We have a pet dog. She is writing an essay. I have many board games.
03:46All these sentences give some positive information, so they are called affirmative statements.
03:54On the other hand, negative sentences give some negative information about something or someone.
04:03Like...
04:05He is not a good actor. She is not a fine dancer.
04:11We don't have any pet. She is not writing any essay.
04:17I don't have any board game.
04:21So, these are all negative assertions.
04:25So, friends, we have learned that assertive or declarative sentences are those sentences that make some statements about something or someone, and they always end with a period.
04:40Let's learn about interrogative sentences.
04:46The sentences that ask questions are called interrogative sentences, and they always end in a question mark.
04:56What are you doing? Where are you going? Where have you been?
05:02What are you looking at? What is your name? In which school do you study?
05:10All these sentences are asking questions, so these are interrogative sentences, and they end in a question mark.
05:20Every type of sentence can further be divided into two types.
05:26They either can be positive or negative.
05:30Where are you going? What are you doing? Are positive sentences.
05:37Why aren't you going to school today? Why didn't you attend the party?
05:44These are all examples of negative interrogative sentences.
05:51Now let's learn what are imperative sentences.
05:57Sentences that express orders, commands, requests, advices, proposals, or suggestions are called imperative sentences.
06:09Leave my room. It's an order.
06:13Mind your own business. It's again an order.
06:18Keep silent. It's also an order.
06:23Work hard. Advice.
06:26Go out. It's also an order.
06:30Take rest. Advice.
06:33These are some examples of advices.
06:37Please help me out.
06:40Please pass me some salt.
06:43Please help me with my homework.
06:46Can you please come with me?
06:49These are some examples of requests.
06:53Let's go for a movie.
06:56Let's go for a picnic.
06:58Let's dance together.
07:01All these are the examples of suggestions.
07:05And these kind of sentences that are giving orders, requesting someone, giving advices, or giving suggestions are called imperative sentences.
07:18Imperative sentences also end with full stops.
07:23Now next let's learn about exclamatory sentences.
07:29Exclamatory sentences are also statements but they express very strong emotions.
07:36Such as joy, sorrow, regret, surprise, wonder, fear, etc.
07:45And they always end with an exclamation sign.
07:49What a marvelous sight!
07:52What a beautiful flower!
07:54What a great architectural monument!
07:58Wow! She won the match!
08:01How cute she is!

08:06Yippee! I did it!
08:09How nice!
08:11How lovely she is!
08:13What a nice car!
08:15I can't believe it!
08:18All these are examples of sentences that are expressing deep emotion.
08:24Deep and sudden emotion I say.
08:28So they are called exclamatory sentences.
08:31And ends with an exclamation sign.
08:35So friends, today we learned about different types of sentences.
