The simple sentence: questions, commands, exclamations, negation
Questions:Different types of questions include:
Yes-no questions: Place the operator before the subject. If no operator exists, introduce 'do.' e.g., "Has the boat left?" or "Does he like Mary?" Wh-questions: Begin with question words like who, what, where, when, why, or how. Alternative questions: Offer choices between options.Commands:
Commands usually lack a subject and use the imperative finite verb (base form) of the verb. e.g., "Run!" or "Please pass the salt."
Exclamations:
Sentences that start with "what" or "how" to express strong feelings or emotions. e.g., "What a noise they made!" or "How beautiful!"
Negation:
Achieved by inserting 'not' or 'n't' between the operator and the predication. e.g., "He does not like it." or "They aren't coming."
