THE SENTENCE
When we speak or write we use words. We generally use these words in groups; as,
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner.
A group of words like this, which makes complete sense, is called a Sentence.
Kinds of Sentences
Sentences are of four Kinds:
(1) Those which make statements or assertions; as,
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
(2) Those which ask questions; as,
Where do you live ?
(3) Those which express commmands, requests, or entreaties; as,
Be Quite,
Have mercy upon us.
(4) Those which express strong feelings; as,
How cold the night is !
What a shame !
