At the request of the Grammar, the sentence will be a word or set of words that have a complete grammatical sense and syntactic autonomy. A sentence is the smallest syntactic constituent with which we can find and that is capable of making a statement, expressing the content of a proposition logic, a mandate, a request, a question, that is, it is capable of communicating a complete idea and even if it is removed from context, continue to communicate.
Prosodically, the sentences will be separated through pauses or by lowering the tone of voice, while graphically, the sentences are delimited by punctuation marks, such as a period, so a period will mean the end of the sentence in question.
Sentences are classified into two groups, according to attitude assumed by the speaker or according to the syntactic structure they hold.
In the first group we will find the following:
declarative (Laura came back from work at six in the afternoon), exclamatory (What a barbarian!), interrogative (What is your name?), imperative (He already does the homework), hesitant (Maybe I'll meet Laura tomorrow afternoon), wishful thinking (Hopefully it doesn't rain on Saturday during the wedding).Meanwhile, in the second group the following are distinguished: attributive, predicative, intransitive, transitive, active, passive, reflective, reciprocal and passive reflex.
