What are Declarative Sentences?

A sentence that is used to make a statement is called a declarative sentence.

For example:

What are the uses of declarative sentences?

Here are some common uses of declarative sentences with short examples:

Use	Example
To state a fact	The sun rises in the east.
To share information	She is a teacher.
To express an opinion	I believe this movie is great.
To describe an event or action	They are playing in the park.
To explain something	Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

A declarative sentence does not ask a question, give an order, or express strong emotion. Instead, it makes a simple statement or declaration, passing on information. These sentences always end with a period (full stop). For example, rather than asking, “Do you like cheese?” or giving a command like “Pass the cheese,” a declarative sentence would state, “I like cheese.” Understanding how to use declarative sentences will improve your ability to communicate clearly and effectively.

Structure of Declarative Sentences:

Subject + predicate ( verb/what the subject is doing ), ending in a period
