As you know, any text consists of sentences. In fact, a text is a few sentences related in meaning. But in order to convey information to the reader (listener), you need to understand that they are different. It is worth distinguishing sentences for the purpose of utterance in order to use them accordingly. So, for starters, let's find out what this syntactic unit is. A sentence is a few words that are interconnected in meaning. Note that even a single word or phrase can be a complete sentence. It is clear that if it makes sense, then it can be varied. Therefore, in the Russian language there is a certain classification. What are the suggestions for the purpose of the statement, we will describe in this article. Please note that in oral speech sentences on the purpose of utterance are determined by intonation, and in written speech - by the forms of words and their use.
Narrative Suggestions
So, our language distinguishes between three types of
sentences: narrative, interrogative and incentive. Narrative - these are sentences that literally tell us about an event or
state a fact. “Olga passed the exam perfectly” or “Clear and warm weather is observed in Kemerovo”. Interestingly, in Russian speech, it is precisely narrative sentences that prevail. And this is understandable, because for the most part the meaning of communication and information exchange is to notify someone of something. People talk more often than they ask and prompt. Moreover, usually one narrative sentence requires the second, explaining any phenomenon or event from the first.
Interrogative sentences
Suggestions for the purpose of the statement are interrogative. Everything is clear here. Any question is an interrogative sentence. "Do you love me?". It is worth noting that a narrative sentence can transform into an interrogative one. It is only necessary to change the intonation and semantic load. "We're going to rest in the country" turns into "We are going to rest in the country?". Interrogative sentences can also be formed using certain pronouns and adverbs. “Who,” “what,” “whose,” “who,” “when,” “where,” “why,” “why,” etc. help to make up more specific questions. "Why are you eating this?", "Where is the meeting of leaders?" Please note that there are suggestions where the question does not require an answer. "Who does not like to relax at sea?". Such questions are called rhetorical.
Incentive offers
It seems that our language consists only of narration and questions, so what suggestions are there for the purpose of the statement yet? Do not forget about incentive offers. They constitute a minority in the classification of sentences of the Russian language, but their value should not be underestimated. After all, it is with the help of them that we can ask for help, order subordinates to complete the task, give advice or wish health and love at the holidays. In addition to the specific intonation used for a certain type of incentive sentence (order, advice, etc.), this type of sentence is formed using the verb form in the singular and plural of the second number ("Come here"); particles "let", "come on", etc. ("Let him come back"); infinitive ("Stop crying!").
