Assertive sentence
Hello,
A declarative sentence is also known as affirmative and assertive sentence.
A affirmative sentence can be a negative also.
Is there any other name for the affirmative which is also negative?
Could anyone explain it?
Thanks.

A declarative sentence can be called an assertive sentence, though I prefer declarative. Affirmative is the opposite of negative. "Affirmative sentence" does not mean declarative sentence.

hanuman_2000A declarative sentence
A declarative sentence is also called an assertion.
Assertions can be affirmations or negations.
Declaratives:
The cat is on the mat. (affirmative assertion)
The cat is not on the mat. (negative assertion)
This is how I understand it.
