Definition of Affirmative Prayer

The study of sentences is part of one of the structures of the language, the grammar. And affirmative sentences are, in turn, a kind of sentence that depends on the attitude of the person speaking.

An affirmative sentence is one that claims to be objective and that describes a certain reality. An affirmative sentence is one of the two options (along with the negative sentence) that are part of declarative sentences, also known as affirmative or declarative sentences. Thus, when stating an idea in the form of a sentence, we can do so by affirming or denying something. Let's look at some concrete examples of affirmative sentences: it's eight o'clock, I'm hungry, it's an entertaining game. In the three examples there is information that, in principle, corresponds to the truth and that aims to communicate something objectively. With the incorporation of the word no in any of them, the sentence would become negative.

To consider that a sentence is affirmative, it is necessary to attend to the type of message that the speaker makes. In the

communication affirmative sentences are the most common and are presented in different verbal forms (we use them in our answers, in the description of some facts, in the simple or compound present, in the past ...). However, in each sentence there is a specific intention and, by this reason, it is worth remembering the different types of prayer depending on the attitude of the person who is speaking.

Types of prayer according to the intentionality of the message

There are interrogative sentences, which are those that are presented as a question, and can be direct or indirect ("what time do you have", or I wonder "why did you do it").

Exclamatory sentences communicate surprise, joy or outrage and are usually accompanied by exclamation marks at the beginning and end of the same ("What are you saying!", "I don't believe it!", "What a mess!").

The doubting prayers

They express doubts ("maybe he's right", "maybe he should think again", etc).

The Exhortative Prayers

They report a ban or an order ("bring the glass of Water right now "," come home before ten o'clock "...).

Wishful prayers

They communicate a wish ("do well", "I hope you win", "I hope you get it" ...).

The sentences of possibility

They indicate that there is a probability regarding something or there is an assumption message ("I think they will come soon", "should be here" ...).
