All sentences make complete sense on their own, but not all sentences do the same kind of work.

There are basically four types of sentences. They can perform different functions:

 

Make statements.                                         Ask questions.      

Give commands.                                          Utter exclamations

 

 1. The first type of sentence is known as a statement sentence.  

The test was difficult.                That model has not ten gears.

 

 Affirmative (Positive) statement. Ali was ill.

 

Negative Statements. Ali was not ill.

 A Statement sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

 

2. The second type of sentence is known as a question sentence.  Positive Question.

Did you pass the examination? 

Are you Jordanian?

 

Negative Question.

Is Ali not coming with us?

Haven't you visited Jerusalem?

 

A question senetence must begin with a capital letter and end with a question mark.
