What:

A complete sentence is a group of words that conveys a complete idea. Complete sentences must have at least one subject and predicate, There are four different kinds of sentences.

Is it showing strong emotion? (Exclamatory)
Is it giving a command or request? (Imperative)

● Students will check for punctuation clues like:

“.” for declarative

● Students will categorize sentences based on their purpose and punctuation.

●Students will recall the sentence types’ characteristics (e.g., declarative sentences give information, interrogative sentences ask questions).

1. Opening

Teacher: Assalam-o-Alaikum, Students! How are you all?

Imagine! You and your friends went to a restaurant and occupied a table. The waiter came to you. What would be the first thing you would say/ask to the waiter? Expected answers (EA)’ what is in the menu? Please bring some water. Please bring the Manu. What is your specialty? So, either you will ask question or make a request right? Ok Now, think of another scenario. You teach tuition to 2 class and they are making noise in the class what would you say? EA Keep quite! Don’t make noise. Stand up etc. it means you are commanding right? See , in different situations or scenario we use different type of sentence. So, today we will explore these types of sentences.
2. Introduction to New Material (INM)

So first of all I want to ask you what is a sentence? (Taking some random responses) ok great! So a complete sentence is a group of words that conveys a complete idea. A complete sentences must have at least one subject and predicate. There are four different kinds of sentences.

1. A declarative sentence makes a statement, provides a fact, offers an explanation, or conveys information. Example: Today is Monday. I am good. Nasir is an English teacher etc CFU: What is a declarative sentence?

There are two types of declarative sentence. 1. Affirmative jisy hm positive sentence b keh sakty ha and 2 is Negative sentence. For example , I am not happy. He is not a teacher. Ali does not like rice. These are examples of negative sentence because it talk about something which is not or not done. In a nut shell we can say that all the declarative sentences are affirmative except sentences which are consist of the words ‘not, never” CFU: what are the two types of declarative sentence?

2. An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion and ends with an exclamation mark. Examples: I'm so sorry! I can't believe that you have stolen it!

3. An imperative sentence expresses a direct command, request, invitation, warning, or instruction. Examples: Listen, boys! Stop fighting. Put the map back. CFU: What is an imperative sentence?
