What are the different types of sentences?

In grammar, sentences are categorized into four types:

1. Declarative - makes a statement or expresses an opinion.
2. Interrogative - asks a question.
3. Imperative - gives a command or makes a request.
4. Exclamatory - expresses strong emotion or excitement.

Understanding these types of sentences is essential for students in Grade 9 in South Africa as they learn about language and grammar. Recognizing sentence types helps with understanding sentence structure and overall communication skills.
