Statements, Questions and Commands

Choose a word from our list, and then use it in any one of the three basic types of sentence — if possible.

Introduction

Use each word below in a sentence. Try to include at least one statement, one question and one command among your sentences. Note that some verbs make awkward or meaningless words of command, e.g. need, happen.

The words in this puzzle are taken randomly from a list of 794 common words.

1 Avoid. 2 Acquire. 3 Resort. 4 Cow. 5 Relieve. 6 Pipe. 7 Translate. 8 Announce. 9 Load.

Variations: 1. use a minimum of seven words for each sentence 2. include negatives, e.g. isn’t, don’t, never 3. use the words ‘must’ to make commands 4. compose a short dialogue containing all three kinds of sentence: one statement, one question and one command
