Sentence Name

Hi, I want to know what kind of "sentence" is this?


""There's no such thing as coincidence"

I knew that it is not "Tense" "Modal verbs" or "Interrogative". Is this "Simple Sentence"?

Please help me on this.

Hi

The answer, I think, is 'idiomatic'.

- Ghosts do not exist.

- There's no such thing as ghosts.

The first is a straightforward declarative sentence. The second is also declarative but, in order to use it, you need to know that the form of words ("Ghosts? No such thing!") is commonly used by native speakers. It is an idiom.

Hope this helps

Dave
