4.Interrogative/Question Sentences
This type is simple to understand as it helps in asking a question. You use a question mark at its
end. For framing your question, choose words like “why,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “do,” or
“how.”
Examples:
What time will you finish writing your English homework?
What is an adverb?
How often do you read this article?
Can you take me to the library?
Notes:
Using the declarative type in writing provides direction and purpose for your
context.
An exclamatory sentence helps readers relate to your emotions and feelings.
Using this type is best in blog posts or creative writings where it is imperative to
arouse the readers’ emotion.
When you want to issue an instruction or command, your mind is usually in an
imperative condition. The reader will act based on your command. You can
make your writing more conversational and polite by using words “please,”
“just,” or “do,” at the beginning of a sentence. Rather than telling the reader,
“Do your chores,” cushion it politely and say “Please, do your chores.”
By now, we know that you choose interrogative kind of sentence to ask
questions. Ask direct questions to avoid miscommunication. An example might
be, rather than using indirect questions like, ”I was wondering if you want to go
watch movies.” say “Do you want to go watch a movie with me?” This is
understandable and helps get straightforward answers.
Using these four types of sentences in writing helps to vary the tone and prevent
it from being monotonous. Also you can use these sentences in poetry, but
remember about poem punctuation. You should use interrogative sentences to
hook readers and create depth to your story. Use different types of sentences in
your paragraph to give it some beautiful flow.
Whether you are writing fiction work, analytical essay or a formal document, it is
important to understand how and when using different sentences. Keep in mind
that scientific work or academic papers do not require exclamatory types.
Maintain one right balance of word construction and structure.
