The communicative types of sentences.
The sentence is above all a communicative unit; therefore, the primary classification of sentences is based on the communicative principle, traditionally defined as “the purpose of communication”. According to the purpose of communication, sentences are subdivided into declarative, interrogative and imperative.
Declarative sentences are traditionally defined as those expressing statements, either affirmative or negative
Imperative sentences express inducements of various kinds (orders or requests); they may also be either affirmative or negative
Interrogative sentences express questions, or requests for information,
Charles Fries suggested classifying all the utterances not on the basis of their own semantics
Classifications of simple sentences
Sentences can be classified according to their structural, semantic and pragmatic properties.
sentences are divided into simple and composite, the latter consisting of two more clauses.
Simple sentences are usually classified into one-member and two-member. This distinction is based on a difference in the main parts of a sentence. Onemember sentences do not contain two such separate parts;in these sentences there is only one main part (e.g. Silence! Come here!) Such sentences contain neither the subject nor the predicate. Instead there is only one main part.
Composite sentence is built up by two or more predicative lines. It can be defined as a structural and semantic unity of two or more syntactic constructions each having a predicative center of its own, built on the basis of a syntactic connection and used in speech communication as a unit of the same rank as the simple sentence.
Complex Sentences
Complex sentences are structures of subordination with two or more immediate constituents which are not syntactically equivalent. In the simplest case, that of binary structure, one of them is the principal clause to which the other is joined as a subordinate. The latter stands in the relation of adjunct to the principal clause and is beneath the principal clause in rank.
In English grammar, a main clause is a group of words made up of a subject and a predicate. A main clause (unlike a dependent or subordinate clause) can stand alone as a sentence. A main clause is also known as an independent clause, a superordinate clause, or a base clause.

Two or more main clauses can be joined with a coordinating conjunction (such as and) to create a compound sentence.
EXAMPLES
- "[A main clause is a] clause which bears no relation, or no relation other than coordination, to any other or larger clause. Thus the sentence I said I wouldn't is as a whole a single main clause; in He came but I had to leave two main clauses are linked in coordination by but."
- "While Fern was in school, Wilbur was shut up inside his yard."
"Dinner always took a long time, because Antonapoulos loved food and he was very slow."
