Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamatory

1.    Declarative Sentences

In a declarative sentence the subject and predicate have normal word order. The sentence ends with a period in writing and a drop in pitch in speech.

Example :

1. Nirah goes to Bali every month.
2. Sate is traditional foods from Indonesia.
3. The painting was beautiful.
4. I like chicken curry.
5. My school located in the central Jakarta.

2.    Interrogative Sentences (Questions)

In an interrogative sentence, the subject and auxiliary are often reversed.  The sentence ends with a question mark (or an interrogation point) in writing. In a spoken language, most yes-no questions end with a rise in pitch, most interrogative-word questions end with a fall in pitch.

Example :

A.    Do you know where is my handphone ?

B.     What do you like seafood ?

C.     More beautiful bags red or blue ?

D.    What it is a key you are looking for ?

E.     Why do you not present ?

3.    Imperative Sentences (Commands, Requests)

In an imperative sentence, only the predicate is expressed, the simple form of the verb is used, regardless of person or tense. The imperative sentence ends with a period in writing and drop in pitch in speech.

Example :

A.    Let me alone, please.

B.     Drink medicine from dokter !

C.     Please lose her from me !

D.    Hot surface. Do not touch !

E.     Add two glasses of water into a pan and then boil it.

4.    Exclamatory Sentences (Exclamations)

Such sentence begins with an exclamatory phrase consisting of what or how plus a part of the predicate. The exclamatory phrase is followed by subject and the balance of the predicate.

1. How cute the cat is !
2. Don’t close the door !
3. What a beatiful girl she is !
4. It is wonderful day !
5. What a very beautiful flowers !
