📚 Topic Summary
Sentence types are the different ways we structure our sentences to convey specific meanings. In English, we primarily deal with four types: declarative (statements), interrogative (questions), imperative (commands), and exclamatory (expressions of strong emotion). Mastering these types is crucial for clear and effective communication, both in writing and speaking.
