DECLARATORY SENTENCE Meaning and
Definition
-
A declaratory sentence, also known as a declarative sentence, is a type of sentence that makes a statement or declares a fact. It is one of the four main types of sentences in English grammar, the others being interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences.
A declaratory sentence provides information or asserts a particular idea, opinion, or belief. It presents a statement that is considered as a factual statement, describing a situation or conveying a piece of information. This type of sentence is commonly used in academic writing, literature, news articles, and everyday conversations.
A declaratory sentence typically follows a subject-verb-object structure, where the subject is usually at the beginning of the sentence and is followed by the verb and then the object. The sentence can also include additional modifiers or qualifiers to provide more details or clarify the statement. For example, "The sky is blue," "I am going to the store," or "She plays the piano."
Declaratory sentences do not express a request, command, or strong emotion. They function to declare or state something, presenting a straightforward and objective statement. In written form, these sentences often end with a period (full stop). However, declarative sentences can also be transformed into other sentence types (e.g., interrogative) by altering the sentence structure or adding question words or tags at the end.

Etymology of DECLARATORY SENTENCE
The word "declaratory" originated from the Latin word "declaratorius", which is derived from the verb "declarare". "Declarare" can be further broken down into two parts: "de-" meaning "thoroughly" or "down" and "clarare" meaning "to make clear" or "to announce". Thus, the word "declaratory" can be understood as "making something clear" or "announcing something". When combined with the term "sentence", which refers to a grammatical unit of words expressing a complete thought, we get the phrase "declaratory sentence" referring to a type of sentence that states a fact or expresses a statement.
