A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It typically contains a subject and a verb. Sentences can be categorized based on their purpose and structure. In this chapter, we will explore the different types of sentences: Affirmative, Interrogative, Imperative, Exclamatory, and Negative.
