kind of sentences


 let's have first a review on sentence.We know already that sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought.And it has two parts,the subject and the predicate.The subject is the object spoken to in a sentence and the predicate tells about the subject.

   For example,in the sentence:

My mother is a doctor.

   The subject here is "My mother" because she is the object being talked in the sentence and the predicate is" is a doctor" because it tells about the subject.

  At this point,since you are already familiar with the sentence,we will discuss the Kinds of sentences

  There are four kinds of sentences namely;

1.Declarative or Statement

2.Command or Request

3.Interrogative or Question

4.Exclamatory sentence

Let's discuss it one by one.

   First is the Declarative or the Statement.A sentence is a declarative or statement if it tells something.It ends with a period (.)and starts with capital letter.

   For example:

1.The flower is beautiful.

2.It is raining today.

3.I love skating.

4.My father, together with his

 friends is watching basketball.

The next is the Command.

  Command is a sentence that commands.

Example:

1.Get a sheet of paper.

2.Make tea for me.

3.Wash the dishes after eating.

4.Open the door.

5.Get my bag on the table.

On the other hand, Request is also a command but in polite way.

For example:

1.Please open the door,Carlo.

2.Will you please get my bag.

3.Kindly open the gate.

4.Carla,wash my clothes, please.

5.Please buy a coffee for me.

Next is the Interrogative sentence or simply a question.It asks something.It ends with a question mark (?) and still starts with capital letter.

Example:

1.Where is your mother?

2.What are you doing?

3.Where do you live?

4.Do you like apple?

5.Are you here to visit my aunt?

The last is Exclamatory sentence.It is the sentence that expresses sudden feeling.Such as fear, sadness,or excitement.

It ends with an Exclamatory point(!).

Example:

1.Oh,the baby is falling!

2.Help! There's a snake!

3.Fire!Fire!

4.Wow! So beautiful!

5.Ouch!

Put the glass down now

 Put the glass down now A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students,’ How much do you think this glass weighs?’ ’50gms!’ …. ‘100gms!’ ……’125gms’ ……the students answered. ‘I really don’t know unless I weigh it,’ said the professor, ‘but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?’ ‘Nothing’ the students said. ‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ‘ the professor asked. ‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the students. ‘You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day? ‘ ‘Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis; have to go to hospital for sure!’ventured another student; all the students laughed. ‘Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?’ asked the professor. ‘No’ the students said. Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress? ‘ The students were puzzled. ‘Put the gl...

THE SICK LION. By Aesop

  A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and more helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges." So the Boar came up and drove at him with his tusks; then a Bull gored him with his horns; still the Lion lay helpless before them: so the Ass, feeling quite safe from danger, came up, and turning his tail to the Lion kicked up his heels into his face. "This is a double death," growled the Lion. Only cowards insult dying majesty الأسد المريض كان هناك أسد قد بلغ أيامه الأخيرة، فتمدد مريضاً مشرفاً على الموت عند مدخل كهفه يلفظ أنفاسه الأخيرة. اجتمعت حوله رعاياه من الحيوانات واقتربت منه بينما هو لا حول له ولا قوة. وعندما وجودوا أنه على وشك الموت قالوا لأنفسهم: "هذا هو وقت تصفية الضغائن". اقترب منه الخنزير البري وضربه بنابه؛ ثم جرحه الثور بقرنه؛ والأسد ...

Marriage

 Marriage is a sacred institution in Islam with very important objectives. In most cases, the objective is achieved through monogamy. However, in certain situations, a man is allowed to marry more than one wife, with the condition that he treats his wives with justice, and takes the decision with Taqwa or God Consciousness. The idea that Islam allows polygamy so that men could pursue lust and as an excuse to fulfill sensual desires is a far cry from what Islam actually wishes to achieve. Time and time again the question of polygamy in Islam is raised as a grave issue and a big hurdle to any serious discussions about Islam. The general idea is to ask: How can Islam claim that there is gender equality when it allows men to marry up to four wives? If men can have multiple wives, why are women also not allowed to marry more than one husband? Let us explore why Islam permits a man to have up to four wives. Polygamy is allowed, though not mandatory, as a remedial measure for certain situ...
