Different types of sentences in French


Sentences in French are formed in a similar way than in English. For short sentences, you won't make much mistake if you keep the same structure as the English sentence.

There are four different types of sentences:

1. The declarative sentence:
            Ex.:      Le chat joue avec la souris.          The cat is playing with the mouse.

2. The interrogative sentence:
            Ex.:      Joue-t-il avec la souris?             Is she playing with the mouse?

3. The imperative sentence:
            Ex.:      Joue avec moi!                          Play with me!

4. The exclamative sentence:
            Ex.:      Quelle belle maison!                What a beautiful house!
