Declarative Sentences in Greek grammar are the type of sentences that make a statement or express an opinion. They are the most common type of sentences in the Greek language, typically composed of a subject and a predicate. They end with a period and can be either positive or negative. Declarative sentences can be either simple, with just one clause, or complex, with more than one clause.
