What Is a Declarative Sentence? (with Examples)
A declarative sentence states a fact or an argument and ends with a full stop (British) / period (American).
Declarative sentences are by far the most common type of sentence.
Examples of Declarative Sentences
Here are some examples of declarative sentences:
- There are five million people at risk.
- London is the capital of England.
- I am no wine connoisseur, but I know what I like.
- She asked whether I liked her dress. (Although this is an indirect question, it is still a statement and, therefore, a declarative sentence.)
