Sentences .pngLearn about sentences, specifically statement question and command, what a statement, question and command sentence is, how and when to use statement and command sentences and how to write a full and proper question. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Statement sentences are sometimes called assertive sentences or declarative sentences.
These are the most common types of sentences that we use on a day-to-day basis because our conversations are mostly based around the idea of exchanging information with other people – which is exactly what statement sentences are for.
The main aim of a statement sentence is always to tell someone a fact or an idea about a certain topic.
They can vary in their length but, like all sentences, they have to end with some kind of punctuation mark (this is often a full stop but it might also be an exclamation mark, if you really want to shout about your sentence).
The key to spotting a statement sentence is to look at the topic of the sentence itself – do not look at the length or the structure, as these will not always help you to spot a statement.
If the sentence is stating something – a fact, a thought, or an opinion – then it is a statement sentence. If, however, the sentence is asking a question or making an order, then it is a different type of sentence entirely.
