A SENTENCE CLASSIFICATIONS: an introduction

FOUR KINDS OF SENTENCES


A simple sentence consists of one finite clause. The simple sentences in English can be
classified based on the messages they want to convey. They are mainly classified into four
categories: declarative/statement, interrogative/question, command or request, and
exclamation, all of which reflect the purpose of the speaker or writer
1. Declarative Sentences
A declarative sentence makes a statement. This declarative sentence is used to assert or
state ideas without expecting an answer or a reply. Most sentences are declarative. This
kind of sentences is followed by a full stop or a period (.).
Examples:
 The surgeons are checking the patient.
 This chemical reaction is dangerous to human beings.
 Kate and William got married in 2011 at Buckingham Palace England.
 Romeo and Juliet was written by Shakespeare.
 I just called my parents overseas.
2. Interrogative Sentence/Questions
An interrogative sentence is used to ask a question and always followed by a question
mark. These kinds of sentences can be classified into: “Yes/No Questions”, whose
response between yes and no and “Informative Questions”, whose responses depend on
the question words used (Wh/H questions) (see 4 for details).
Examples:
 Have you ever been to Papua?
 Did you write your own thesis?
 Does she live next to your house?
 Why are you crying?
 When will you visit us again?
 Who stole the LCD in the classroom?
3. Imperative (Command and Request)
An imperative sentence is used to give a command or to make a request. As the
declarative, the imperative sentence is followed by a full stop (.), but very strong
command may use an exclamation point (!).
Examples:
 Go to the basement immediately.
 Run and crawl!
 Be careful! It is dangerous.
 Forgive me please.
 Be here at 7 o’clock sharp!
 Stand up please.

4. Exclamation
An exclamatory sentence is used to express strong feeling. It exclaims and it is followed by
exclamation point (!).
a. What (a) is used when a noun terminates the exclamatory phrase.
 What beautiful hair she has! or What beautiful hair!
 What beautiful eyes she has!
 What a wonderful day it is! (a is used after singular count table noun)
 What a beautiful garden it is!
b. How is used when an adjective or an adverb terminates the exclamatory phrase.
 How beautiful she is! or How beautiful!
 How beautifully she behaves!
 How interesting the story is!
c. Sometimes an infinitive (to-verb) is used as a verb in an exclamation.
 What a high price to pay for living a five-star hotel!
 How thoughtful for him to send her greeting cards.
d. In literary or poetic style, the subject and verb are inverted. Such a reverse of
inversion is felt as archaic (old-fashioned).
 How green was the valley!
 What a fool is the father who let his daughter stay up late every night.

EXERCISE 1: Decide whether each of the following sentences is a statement (S), request
(R), question (Q), or an exclamation (E).
1. What a beautiful girl she is.
2. Watch out!
3. What are you doing here?
4. What a wonderful movie it is.
5. How interesting the movie is!
6. What I need is a place to shelter!
7. Why she is crying makes confused.
8. Why are you crying?
9. Can you repeat question no 5, please?
10. Do you understand my questions?
11. Stand up in front the class.
12. Don’t smoke in this room.
13. Your name, please?
14. What a mess!
15. What’s up?
EXERCISE 2: Write your own sentences based on the patterns you just learnt (3 sentences
for each pattern).
1. _____________________________________________________________

SENTENCE CLASSIFICATIONS BY NUMBER OF PREDICATION


This section tries to introduce the classification of sentences from the number of predication
in a sentence. Detail explanations will be provided along with the discussion of each unit in
different books on this series.

Based on the number of predicates or clauses, sentences can be divided into: simple
sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences and compound-complex sentences. A
clause is defined the same way as a sentence in that it has a full predication that contains a
subject and a predicate with a finite verb. Clauses can be divided into two: dependent clauses
and independent clauses. The independent clause is a clause that may stand alone in a
sentence; the dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand alone or depend on the other
clause.

1. Simple Sentences
Simple sentences are sentences that have only one full predication in the form of
independent clauses.
Subject Verb Complement
Mary sent me a bunch of flowers.
She has such beautiful hair.
The man stole the money.
The children are having dinner.

2. Compound Sentences
Compound sentences are sentences that have two or more predications in the form of
independent clauses. The compound sentences are formed when two or more ideas have
equal importance (parallel ideas). They can take word-level, phrase-level, or clause-level
compounds. The parallel ideas can be joined using coordinating conjunctions (and, but,
or, yet, nor, for, so, and/or) or paired (correlative) conjunctions (either … or, neither …
nor, not only … but also, not … but).
a. Join words
 Sydney, Washington, and London are among the cities that interest me.
[compound subject]
 Bayu and Aryo live in Mataram and study in the same place. [compound subject
and compound verb]
 The children want to swim in Water Boom and eat at KFC Mataram Mall.
[compound infinitive]
b. Join phrases
 Andreas has been playing a guitar for years and has been taking a drum course
since six months ago.
 Reading newspapers and playing badminton are my hobbies.
 The bus in the city is crowded early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
c. Join clauses
 What you eat and how much you exercise will make your life healthy.
 Gilang has played in the band for 2 years, but Indra just joined two months ago.
 Gilang plays drums and Indra plays a piano

3. Complex Sentences
Complex sentences are sentences that have two or more full predications, one of which
functions as the independent clause (main clause) similar to the simple sentence, and the
other(s) function(s) as the dependent clauses (subordinate clauses). The dependent clauses
can be in the forms of adjective clauses, noun clauses, and adverbial clauses.
a. Adjective Clauses in Complex Sentences
 The magazine that I bought last night is very interesting.
 The man who was rushed to ICU was hit by a lorry.
 The restaurant which serves vegetarian food is very expensive.
b. Noun Clauses in Complex Sentences
 The doctor said that the patient needed more blood transfusion.
 The teacher told me that the exam was postponed.
 It is concluded that they don’t want to live together.
c. Adverbial Clauses in Complex Sentences
 If I had time, I would go.
 Because she was sick, she couldn’t attend the class.
 He was reading a book when I came.

4. Compound-Complex Sentences
The compound-complex sentences are the sentences that have one or more independent
clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
 The men who robbed the bank were arrested and two of them were sent to the jail.
 A computerized map of freeways which use information which is gathered by sensors
airs on local cable channel during rush hour.

The independent clauses in all four sentences may take the form of a statement, question,
request, or an exclamation. Each of kinds of these sentences will be discussed in details in the
units of the three English Grammar Series.

EXERCISE 3: Quote the various kinds of sentences from the extract and write down on the
spaces provided.

Indonesia's Lombok promotes itself as 'Muslim-friendly' tourism destination


Just a short hop from the Indonesian holiday hotspot of Bali, a Saudi tourist and his
family listen to the call to prayer as the sun goes down on Lombok, the self-styled “island of
1,000 mosques”. Lombok is at the centre of an Islamic tourism drive in Indonesia, which has
the world’s biggest Muslim population and is hoping to boost the number of visitors from
wealthy Middle Eastern countries.
While aiming to continue to attract Western tourists who flock to its pristine beaches,
the island is also seeking to promote its Islamic heritage, from numerous places of worship to
shrines dedicated to ancient Muslim preachers. “I love it here because I can hear the azan
[call to prayer] and people go to the mosque to pray,” said 58-year-old Sulaiman, the Saudi
tourist, who gave only one name and was accompanied by his wife who was wearing an all-
encompassing burqa.
Indonesia is the world’s biggest archipelago nation, made up of more than 17,000
islands, but has long lagged behind smaller, more developed countries in Southeast Asia,
such as Malaysia and Thailand, in attracting tourists. Foreign visitor arrivals to Indonesia rose
to 8.8m in 2013, according to official figures, compared with 25.72m in Malaysia and
26.55m in Thailand. While there are no official figures for “sharia” tourism in Indonesia, the
sector is experiencing strong growth internationally. In a recent report, Muslim-oriented
business group CrescentRating, predicted the sector would be worth $192bn a year globally
by 2020, up from $140bn in 2013.
“The economic growth of Middle Eastern countries is very good and we see an
opportunity there,” senior tourism ministry official Rizki Handayani told AFP. Only around
190,000 Middle Eastern visitors came to Indonesia in 2013, according to official figures, but
authorities hope their Islamic tourism drive can increase numbers. The government has
produced tourist guides promoting Indonesia as a “Muslim friendly destination”. It highlights
the country’s best “sharia” tourism destinations and notes there are more than 600,000
mosques in the archipelago.

B ASPECTS OF ENGLISH SENTENCES

SUBJECT VERB COMPLEMENT MODIFIER


Mary and I reviewed the report last night.
The students set the table this morning.
I am writing a journal article in my office.
The police arrested the robber last night.

1. SUBJECT
The subject of a sentence is the agent of the sentences in the active voice. The subject
can be person or thing that performs or is responsible for the action of the sentence. The
subject can be in the forms of a single noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun, impersonal it, or
a pseudo-subject ‘there’
Example:
1. A Single Noun
 Coffee is planted in some parts of Bali.
 Sugar is imported from Thailand.
2. A Noun Phrase
 The newly published book is very interesting.
 The red car belongs to Billy.
 The biology teacher conducted an experiment yesterday.
 The cafe opens until 5 a.m. on Saturday.
3. A Pronoun
 We meet once a week in this place.
 He goes to beach for relaxation.
 They are busy with their work.
 You and I are going to be the lead dancers in the ballet company.
4. Impersonal “It”
 It is concluded that there is no difference between male and female students in
reading comprehension.
 It is necessary to provide models for students to speak.

 There was much discussion about the conflict solution
 There has been little rain in July.
 There are many beautiful bulidings in the downtown of Sydney.

2. VERB
In addition to a SUBJECT, another important aspect of a senstence is a VERB. In a
declarative sentence, the verb follows the subject, and it shows the action or existence of
the sentence. Its forms may be a single word or a verb phrase (consisting of one or more
auxiliary verbs and one main verb).
a. A Single Word Verb
 Many children hate vegetables.
 The driver drives too fast.
 The winner of the contest is very talented.

b. A Verb Phrase
 John has fixed his car.
 It was raining this morning
 She must have gone home.
 They have been studying for more than 5 hours.
3. COMPLEMENT
A complement completes the verb to answer the questions of “what” or “whom”.
However, not every sentences needs complement. The complement is usually a noun or
a noun phrase and generally follows the verb in the active sentence.
 She was reading a new novel last night.
 They called an ambulance for the patient.
 We met an old friend in the party.
 My parent will buy me some books.

4. MODIFIER
A modifier or an adverb can be in the forms of adverbs of manner, place, time and takes
the form of a prepositional phrase (a group of words that begins with a prepostion and
ends with a noun. The modifier answers the question “When?, Where?, or How? When
they occur together, their normal position is Adverbs of Manner, Place, and Time
(MPT). Not every sentence has a modifier.
 The singer sang the song beautifully at the pub last night.
 We spent our time at the corner.
 She was driving very fast last night.
 I can see the game more clearly from the TV screen.

EXERCISE 4:
Identify the subject, verb, complement, and modifier in each of the following sentences by
labelling each of the components.
Example:
 She / has been standing / in the line / for almost half an hour/.

Subject verb phrase modifier of place modifier of time

 She / is having / breakfast /

1. raining - it - o’clock - seven - was - at - morning - this
________________________________________________________________________
2. have - Paul - studied - harder - should - his - future - for
