This lab explains what a sentence is, shows the four common sentence types used in Romanian grammar, and then focuses only on declarative sentences. The examples below use core vocabulary from the Romanian vocabulary lab, keep the grammar short and practical, and include audio for every sentence.
What Is a Sentence?
Sentence Definition
A sentence is a complete unit of meaning. In writing, a sentence usually begins with a capital letter and ends with punctuation. In speech, a sentence expresses one complete idea such as a fact, a question, a command, or a strong feeling.
Sentence Types
In Romanian, as in many languages, learners usually meet four common sentence types:
Declarative: states information.
Interrogative: asks a question.
Imperative: gives a command or instruction.
Exclamative: expresses strong emotion.
Declarative Focus
This lab focuses on declarative sentences because they are the foundation of basic communication. A declarative sentence helps you identify people, describe objects, explain routines, and report simple facts. Mastering this pattern first makes questions, commands, and more complex statements easier later.
