Transcript text: State whether the sentence is a statement or not.
Go with the flow.
Solution
The sentence "Go with the flow." is not a statement.
Explanation:
Definition of a Statement: A statement is a sentence that declares something and can be classified as either true or false. It typically provides information or asserts a fact.
Analysis of the Sentence: The sentence "Go with the flow." is an imperative sentence, which means it is giving a command or instruction. Imperative sentences are not statements because they do not declare something that can be evaluated as true or false.
Examples for Clarity:
Statement: "The sky is blue." (This can be evaluated as true or false.)
Not a Statement: "Please close the door." (This is a command and cannot be evaluated as true or false.)
Therefore, "Go with the flow." is an imperative sentence and not a statement.
