Writing Notes: Sentence Types

There are 4 types of sentences in English. Each has a specific purpose.

4 Types of Sentences

DECLARATIVE SENTENCE

The purpose of this sentence is to make a statement.

It is the most common sentence in writing, and it ends with a period. Examples:

"Larry ate chocolate ice cream covered with almonds."

"Susan was declared class president at the pep rally."

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE

The purpose of this sentence is to ask a question.

The sentence ends with a question mark.

There are 2 kinds of questions in English:

1. The "yes/no" question

Places the helping verb in a declarative sentence before the subject in the interrogative sentence. Example:

"I can go to Jamaica this summer." (declarative)

Is transformed to: "Can I go to Jamaica this summer?" (interrogative)

2. The "wh-"question

Begins with a question word: who, what, when, where, why, and how. These words always appear first in the interrogative sentence. Examples:

Who is that student?

What are Mary and Robin doing?

When will you be home?

Where is Mark going?

Why are you sad?

How does that work?

IMPERATIVE SENTENCE

The purpose of this sentence is to issue a request or command.

It has no written subject; however, the subject is implied, and it is always "you." Examples:

"Go to school." = (You) Go to school.

"Don't drive too fast." = (You) Don't drive too fast.

EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE

The purpose of this sentence is to express a strong feeling.

Exclamatory sentences always end with an exclamation point. Examples: 

"That is an unusual color!"

"John sounded brilliant!"

So crazy Wu is the master of creation yet we never see him create anything

I’m talking both element wise and just in general

Like let my guy have a hobby!!!

[mariyekos]

One of the things that makes me feel crazy on DMC5 replays is the way V phrases his request to Dante.

He doesn't say "we need your help to stop the demon." He says "A powerful demon is about to resurrect, and we need your help, Dante." The implication seems to be that V needs Dante's help to stop it...but if you've played it before, that's not what he's really asking. V needs Dante's help in order for the resurrection to take place. Because until Urizen is weakened V has no chance of rejoining him, so he needs Dante's help to weaken Urizen so he's primed for merging and bringing about Vergil's resurrection. The "we" V refers to could also absolutely be both V and Urizen in that case, instead of just some general "we" of humanity. So he's not really asking for help to stop the resurrection, but instead to bring it about, hiding the truth in plain sight and careful wording.

The DMC 5 localization can be wonky in some places, but in other places it just shines. "We need your help, Dante." Not to stop it. He never says that. It's to bring about the resurrection itself.

I killed a deer in Wisconsin

[pretzel-box]

In God he trusted, once. Hands lifted to the heavens, his voice a whisper. Lost in the boundless quiet, craving a taste of freedom. But the sky answered him in silence.

There lingered always the ghost of a chill, crawling down his spine, An endless watchfulness that scraped against his mind. It was not something he could name, for words failed, Could never capture the sickness festering deep within, A mind tormented and torn.

Through countless torments, memories twisted, He walked a path simple and pure, a single destination: Death, the dark and welcoming road. But cursed he was, unable to escape— For that nameless gaze refused him peace.

The entities would not wound him fatally, no scar became the last. Every exit sealed, every choice returned him to this bleak place. Sebastian Solace was bound here, tethered Neither in life nor in death, forsaken and trapped.

In the midnight silence, he could hear it: your weeping. He sought sleep, craved its mercy, for anything was kinder Than the echo of your cries in the stillness. Your eyes unseen, but he felt them always upon him.

An angel, he thought, watching over his suffering— Yet you were more than that, weren’t you? When he drowned, you cast him ashore, when he bled, you healed him, But only to wound him anew. Your touch was balm and blade. You—the kind, bitter chain that bound him here, in the dark of the Blacksite.

He cursed you, the forsaken guardian angel that you were, One that shielded him from all hands but his own. Each night he prayed, as your tears fell, That God would strike you down, would sever your wings and shatter your halo. For what he hoped would be solace, remained a dream, a dream that wasn't meant to be his, but yours alone.

reading all about the white calf, love your work, can i just say. gonna put some hibrides appreciation out there because damn. nobody in this story is lucky but she in particular seems to be having a Bad Time

Yeah a lot of things suck pretty bad for her. Unwittingly in a lavender marriage, mutual dislike between her and her dogshit husband, extremely strained relationship to her former best friend/gay quasi-boyfriend/father of her children who alternates between avoiding her and desperate attempts to make her love him again, having to constantly maintain multiple levels of facade to socially protect their throuple and therefore herself, shy and socially isolated, dealing with trauma that she doesn't even begin to recognize as such because 'nothing bad actually happened', pretty sure something is deeply wrong with her, living under a damocles sword of catastrophic social consequences should her children be exposed as bastards, has discovered an unexpected and mostly unwanted pregnancy while on a months long cross-country trek, etc.

She's also someone who prides herself in being rational, put together, stoic against adversity, and not overly emotional and weak, which basically means all of this is getting suppressed and compartmentalized away like crazy.

She HAS managed to fall into a rhythm with it all and her life IS NOT constant misery and agony. But the situation she's in for the duration of the story completely tears her out of this rhythm and makes all these factors very acute (though also opens her up to new opportunities, new and more positive/differently complex relationships, and much bigger things to worry about than her domestic life).

Unrelated drawing of her struggling not to lose her shit in public (in this case trying not to laugh)

Writing Refresher: Verb Tenses

Only 2 tenses are conveyed through the verb alone: present (“sing") and past (“sang").

Most English tenses, as many as thirty of them, are marked by other words called auxiliaries.

Understanding the 6 basic tenses allows writers to re-create much of the reality of time in their writing.

Simple Present: They walk.

Present Perfect: They have walked.

Simple Past: They walked.

Past Perfect: They had walked.

Future: They will walk.

Future Perfect: They will have walked.

12 MAIN TENSES

Simple present: She writes every day.

Present progressive: She is writing right now.

Simple past: She wrote last night.

Past progressive: She was writing when he called.

Simple future: She will write tomorrow.

Future progressive: She will be writing when you arrive.

Present perfect: She has written Chapter 1.

Present perfect progressive: She has been writing for 2 hours.

Past perfect: She had written Chapter 3 before she started Chapter 4.

Past perfect progressive: She had been writing for 2 hours before her friends arrived.

Future perfect: She will have written Chapter 4 before she writes Chapter 5.

Future perfect progressive: She will have been writing for 2 hours by the time her friends come over.

PERFECT TENSES

Usually, the perfect tenses are the hardest to remember. Here’s a useful tip: all of the perfect tenses are formed by adding an auxiliary or auxiliaries to the past participle, the third principal part.

1st principal part (simple present): ring, walk

2nd principal part (simple past): rang, walked

3rd principal part (past participle): rung, walked

In the above examples, will or will have are the auxiliaries.

Most common auxiliaries: be, being, been, can, do, may, must, might, could, should, ought, shall, will, would, has, have, had.
