I always have trouble and get confused with imperative and declarative sentences and I've already looked up the meanings but I'm still not so sure about it.
An imperative is like an order. You are correct in your choice.
Declarative is a statement of fact or otherwise merely a statement. Rethink your answer.
I disagree with Reed about your second answer. D is correct.
Yea, I just took the quiz and your correct Ms. Sue. Good thing I didn't change my answer, I got both correct.
But thank you so much to both of you. You guys are very helpful.
Sorry, my other account name was saved on here. I used Trish on accident, lol. I use Trish to help people and JDOGYO to ask questions.
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with this. Understanding the differences between imperative and declarative sentences can be a bit tricky, so let's break it down.
First, let's look at the definition of each type of sentence:
1. Imperative sentence: This type of sentence gives a command, makes a request, or offers guidance.
2. Declarative sentence: This type of sentence makes a statement or expresses an opinion.
Now, let's analyze the sentences you provided to determine whether they are imperative or declarative.
Sentence 1: "Meet me outside after your ballet class."
To determine the type of sentence, ask yourself whether it is making a statement or giving a command/request. In this case, it is giving a command or making a request ("Meet me outside"), so it falls under the category of an imperative sentence. Therefore, your answer of "D. imperative sentence" is correct.
Sentence 2: "I'll walk you to the store."
Similarly, ask yourself whether the sentence is making a statement or giving a command/request. In this case, it is making a statement ("I'll walk you to the store"), so it falls under the category of a declarative sentence. Therefore, your answer of "D. declarative sentence" is correct.
Remember, the key distinction is whether the sentence is giving a command/request (imperative) or making a statement (declarative).
I hope this explanation helped clarify the difference between imperative and declarative sentences for you. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
