A declarative sentence makes a complete statement. Such a sentence states a fact, offers an explanation, or gives information. It may therefore be referred to as a telling sentence. The declarative sentence ends with a period
(full stop).

Jesus is my King.

The Bible was written by
men who were inspired by
God.

My teacher is absent today.

My pet dog is sick.
