Declarative
A sentence type that makes a statement and ends with a period. Declarative sentences are the most common sentence type.
Real World
Government health campaigns use declarative statements such as 'Smoking kills' to assert authority and present information as unquestionable fact, removing ambiguity from their message.
Exam Focus
Analyse declaratives for tone — assertive, informative, or authoritative — rather than simply listing them as statements.
