declarative sentence
Grammar term for a sentence that states a fact or opinion, as opposed to interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory sentences.
"He is a student" is an example of a declarative sentence.
Declarative sentences are distinguished from interrogative and imperative sentences.
Imperative sentence; gives a command, while 平叙文 makes a statement.
Exclamatory sentence; expresses strong emotion, while 平叙文 is neutral.
Compound of 平 (plain, flat) + 叙 (describe, relate) + 文 (sentence). The term is a modern linguistic coinage.
