Declarative and Interrogative Sentences

There are four main types of communicative sentences: declarative (makes a statement), interrogative (asks a question), imperative (gives a command or request), and exclamatory (expresses strong emotions or excitement). Each type serves a different purpose in communication.

Responding to a question with another question is known as "reflective questioning" or "reversing the question." It is a technique commonly used in conversations to redirect the focus or prompt further exploration of a topic.

Interrogative
A sentence that asks a question is an interrogative sentence.

You can use a question within a sentence by incorporating it as part of the sentence structure, such as at the beginning or end. For example, "Can you tell me what time it is?" or "I wonder if you know where my keys are?" This adds variety and engagement to your writing or conversation.

The rain suddenly freezing to the road made the trip home treacherous. The many twists and turns requiring drivers to constantly change their speed and ever be on the look out make that stretch of road especially treacherous. Treacherous means "dangerous" with the added element of treachery. (You would think roads would be safe, but they aren't always.)

Questions that haunt us are often rooted in unresolved emotions, fears, or uncertainties. They can stem from past experiences, current challenges, or future uncertainties. It may be helpful to explore these questions with a therapist or counselor to gain insight and find ways to address them.

An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question and typically ends with a question mark. It is used to gather information, seek clarification, or engage in conversation. Examples include "Why are you late?" and "Have you finished your homework?"

The letter "j" at the end of a sentence actually started its life as a smiley face in some Microsoft program. For example, MS Outlook automatically turns :-) into a graphic smiley ☺ by using a special font set called WingDings. When the message is read on a system without the WingDings fonts--such as a Mac or a phone--the same character becomes a "j" in any normal text font.

The errant "j" sometimes appears in the middle of the sentence as well, but it's less noticeable there.

Chesterfield was selfish, calculating and contemptuous; he was not naturally generous, and he practiced dissimulation till it became part of his nature. Richelieu, therefore, passed his time in safeguarding himself from his rivals and in spying upon them; his suspicious nature, rendered still more irritable by his painful practice of a dissimulation repugnant to his headstrong character, making him fancy himself threatened more than was actually the case. If he refrained from actual invective, he accomplished his purpose, according to Guizot, by "omission, palliation and dissimulation." He says of himself, and justly, "that he was incapable of dissimulation" xxvi. He was, however, full of vindictiveness, dissimulation and treachery, and there can be little doubt that in his historic conflict with Warren Hastings unworthy personal motives played a leading part. Dissemble federalists in Brussels, London and elsewhere worked on with stealth, guile, dissembling, dissimulation, half-truths and often lies. It is true that in addressing the Christian people he used different language from that which he employed to the cultured; but there was no dissimulation in that - on the contrary, it was a requirement of his system. His personal morality was irreproachable, except that he inherited the Plantagenet taste for crooked courses and dissimulation in political affairs; even in this respect the king's reputation has suffered unduly at the hands of Matthew Paris, whose literary skill is only equaled by his malice. Adept as she was in the most exquisite delicacy of dissimulation, the most salient note of her original disposition was daring rather than subtlety. The interference of the state with his education, when he was quite a child, was, however, doubly harmful, as his parents taught him to despise the preceptors imposed upon him by the diet, and the atmosphere of intrigue and duplicity in which he grew up made him precociously experienced in the art of dissimulation.

One makes a 'sentence ripen' by enabling it to develop into its best form for the context in which it is being used. In other words, to 'ripen' a sentence is to craft it into its most effectively expressive shape -- through repeated edits that follow from careful reflection on what meaning it is trying to convey and how best it may convey that meaning.
