Question

Identify the type of sentence given below:
I have booked tickets for tomorrow's show.

• A. Imperative Sentence
• B. Declarative Sentence
• C. Interrogative Sentence
• D. Exclamatory Sentence

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Declarative Sentence

Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. The given sentence states an action, that the speaker has booked tickets. This is characteristic of a declarative sentence, hence option B is correct. The sentence does not express a command or request; it does not even ask something or display any emotions. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
