As you know, any text consists of sentences. In fact, the text is a few sentences related in meaning. But in order to convey information to the reader (listener), you need to understand that they are different. It is worth distinguishing sentences according to the purpose of the statement in order to use them accordingly. So, to begin with, let's find out what this syntactic unit is. A sentence is a set of words that are related in meaning. Note that even one word or phrase can be a complete sentence. It is clear that if there is a meaning, then it can be varied. Therefore, in the Russian language there is a certain classification. What are the proposals for the purpose of the statement, we will tell in this article. Please note that in oral speech, sentences for the purpose of the statement are determined by intonation, and in writing - by the forms of words and their use.
Declarative sentences
So, our language distinguishes three types of sentences: narrative, interrogative and imperative. Narrative sentences are those sentences that literallytell us about an event or state a fact. "Olga passed the exam with excellent marks" or "There is clear and warm weather in Kemerovo." Interestingly, in Russian speech, it is declarative sentences that predominate. And this is understandable, because for the most part, the meaning of communication and information exchange is to notify someone about something. People talk more often than they ask and encourage. Moreover, usually one declarative sentence requires a second, explaining some phenomenon or event from the first.
Interrogative sentences
Sentences on the purpose of the statement can also be interrogative. Everything is clear here. Any question is an interrogative sentence. "Do you love me?". It is worth noting that a declarative sentence can be transformed into an interrogative one. You just need to change the intonation and semantic load. "We are going to rest in the country" turns into "We are going to rest in the country?". Interrogative sentences can also be formed using certain pronouns and adverbs. "Who", "what", "whose", "which", "when", "where", "why", "why", etc. help to formulate more specific questions. "Why are you eating this?", "Where is the meeting of leaders?". Please note that there are sentences where the question does not require an answer. "Who doesn't like to relax by the sea?". Such questionsare called rhetorical.
Incentives
It seems that our language consists only of narration and questions, therefore, what other suggestions are there for the purpose of utterance? Do not forget about incentive offers. They constitute a minority in the classification of sentences in the Russian language, but their importance should not be underestimated. After all, it is with the help of them that we can ask for help, order subordinates to complete a task, give advice or wish he alth and love on holidays. In addition to the specific intonation used for a certain type of incentive sentence (order, advice, etc.), this type of sentence is formed using the form of the verb in the singular and plural of the second number ("Come here"); particles "let", "come on", etc. ("Let him come back"); infinitive ("Stop crying!").
