What is a sentence?
A set of words that make sense and puts forward a thought is called a sentence.
We use sentences when we speak, read or write.
Kindly note that, sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
Different types of sentences are:
1. Assertive or Declarative Sentence:
A sentence that asserts or declares something is called an Assertive or Declarative Sentence.
An Assertive or declarative sentence always ends with a full stop. (.)

A group of dolphins is called a pod.
2. Interrogative Sentence:
A sentence that asks a question is called an Interrogative sentence.
An Interrogative sentence ends with a question mark. (?)
