What are the five basic sentence types?

Question

Give an example of each if possible, please.

Answer 1

English has only four main sentence types by purpose

1. Declarative Sentences are used to form statements.
Examples: "Mary is here.", "My name is Mary."

2. Interrogative Sentences are used to ask questions.
Examples: "Where is Mary?", "What is your name?"

3. Imperative Sentences are used for commands.
Examples: "Come here.", "Tell me your name."

4. Conditional Sentences are used to indicated dependencies between events or conditions.
Example: "If you cut all the trees, there will be no forest."

It can also be classified by structure. Sentences can be either simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.

1 Simple sentences have only one independent clause. There are no dependent clauses, and the sentence must be limited to one subject and one predicate. The sentence may contain modifying words or phrases:

Grammar class is boring. "Magma" is a French progressive rock band.

2Compound sentences are composed of two or more independent clauses, which are joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon. One should always use a comma before any coordinating conjunction that connects two independent clauses:

Sissy likes "Magma," but she thinks grammar class is boring. Timmy likes grammar class, so he does not like "Magma."

3.Complex sentences use one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses:

When Sissy is in grammar class, she often dreams of the next Magma show. ("When Sissy..." is a dependent clause, "she often..." is an independent clause.)

4.The compound-complex sentence joins a compound and a complex sentence together. It should contain two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clause:

Magma sings in a language they created, and they feel that proper grammar has no place at their shows, which are often quite obnoxious.
