However, if you're asking about sentences that directly tell the reader something, it's likely you're referring to declarative sentences.
Here's why:
* Declarative sentences are the most common type of sentence. They make a statement or express an opinion. They typically end with a period.
* Examples of declarative sentences:
* The sky is blue.
* I am happy.
* She went to the store.
