Link to original note: Declarative titles test the validity of the note’s claim
A declarative sentence is a sentence that makes a statement. For example:
I am an expert in French cheeses. A declarative sentence does not ask a question (“Do you like cheese?”), give an order (e.g., “Pass the cheese.”), or express strong emotion (e.g. “I hate cheese!”). Declarative sentences simply make a statement (or a declaration). They pass on information. A declarative sentence always ends with a period (full stop).
