Declarative Sentence

A declarative sentence states a fact or an argument and ends with a full stop (period

). It is by far the most common type of sentence.

Examples:

There are five million people at risk.

London is the capital of England.

I am no wine connoisseur, but I know what I like.

She asked which dress I preferred. (Although this is an indirect question, it is still a statement and, therefore, a declarative sentence.)
