1) Declarative sentence: A declarative sentence is also called an


assertive sentence or statement.

A declarative sentence is of two types:

a) Affirmative: When it is a simple statement.

b) Negative: When not, no, did not, does not etc. are used in a sentence.

interrogative sentence ends with a question mark (?)
