Teacher, what kinds of sentences can be divided into according to the tone?

The mood category of a sentence is the category division of a sentence according to its mood. Including declarative sentences, interrogative sentences, imperative sentences and exclamatory sentences.

1, declarative sentence

A declarative sentence refers to a sentence pattern that states facts or the speaker's point of view. Declarative sentences are divided into affirmative sentences and negative sentences, which are referred to as affirmative sentences and negative sentences for short.

Declarative sentences are used to describe facts. Most of the sentences used in daily life are declarative sentences. Verbs are in the second place in declarative sentences. The first person can be the subject, adverbial and object. No matter how the sentence changes, the verb (or auxiliary verb) always comes second. The subject is always on both sides of the verb, either in the first place or in the third place. When auxiliary verbs or modal verbs appear, auxiliary verbs or modal verbs take the second place and action verbs come last.

2. Interrogative questions

Interrogative question is a kind of sentence divided according to mood. The biggest difference between it and declarative sentences, exclamatory sentences and imperative sentences is its interrogative tone. It is to ask something, and the content expressed is not a statement, so it is uncertain; There are four main sentence patterns: general question, choice question, special question and rhetorical question; Interrogation is one of the grammatical items in NMET English.

Interrogative sentences are commonly used in practical communication. Questions can be divided into general questions, selective questions, special questions and ambiguous questions. General interrogative sentences are usually used to ask whether something is true or not.

The answer is usually "yes" or "no", so general interrogative sentences are also called "yes-no questions". Choose a question and put forward two or more possible answers for the other person to choose from. A sentence that begins with a question word and questions the composition of the sentence is called a special question. There are two kinds of special interrogative sentences, which need to be mastered in actual English learning. One of them is "interrogative words+general interrogative sentences", and the other is "interrogative words+declarative sentence word order". At this time, the interrogative word is the subject or modifies the subject in the sentence.

Interrogative questions, also called tag questions, refer to questions that the questioner asks when he is uncertain about the above facts and needs to confirm with the other party.

3. Imperative sentences

Imperative sentences English is an imperative sentence, which can be divided into Chinese imperative sentences and English imperative sentences. The tone of imperative sentences indicates that the other party should do or not do something.

4. exclamatory sentences

Chinese exclamatory sentences belong to one of the four categories of Chinese sentences (the other three categories are declarative sentences, interrogative sentences and imperative sentences). A sentence with strong feelings. It expresses deep feelings such as happiness, surprise, sadness, disgust and fear. Exclamation sentences generally use a falling tone, with an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence (! ) said.

Extended data

When you turn rhetorical questions into declarative sentences or declarative sentences into rhetorical questions, you can summarize the ways to change sentence patterns through specific exercises:

A declarative sentence becomes a rhetorical question: original sentence+interrogative word (how can you not)+not+modal particle (? ; Really? )-period+question mark

Rhetorical questions become declarative sentences: the original sentence-interrogative words (how can you not)-modal particles (? ; Really? )-question mark+period

Change rhetorical questions into declarative sentences, remove question marks, and remove modal particles that strengthen rhetorical questions. In the transformed declarative sentence, a negative word must be added in a proper position to keep consistent with the original rhetorical question. For example, "does he admit that people's correct thoughts fell from the sky?" To put it another way: "He doesn't admit that people's correct thoughts fell from the sky." He admitted that people's correct ideas did not fall from the sky. It is inconsistent with the meaning of the original rhetorical question, and the answer is wrong, because the negative word "bu" is put in the wrong position.

Similarly, when an affirmative sentence becomes a rhetorical question, a negative word must be added in an appropriate place in the converted rhetorical question to be consistent with the original sentence. For example, "You should go and see him." "Aren't you supposed to see him?"

Negative sentences become rhetorical questions. Only by removing the negative word from the sentence or putting a negative word in the transformed rhetorical question can the meaning of the original sentence be consistent. For example, "He shouldn't look at her." Should he go to see her? Or "shouldn't he go to see her?" This shows that the question mark of rhetorical question plays a negative role. A rhetorical question is a negation of affirmative or negative content.
