In normal affirmative sentences the inflected verb always has position 2.

The principal structures of affirmative sentences in Kokborok are the following:

Affirmative sentences: enhances the meaning of statements and may express a commonly shared value or opinion.

Initial amen, referring back to words of another speaker and introducing an affirmative sentence, e.g. 1 Kings 1:36.

This particle "ma" (吗) is placed at the very end of a basic affirmative sentence to turn it into a Yes/No question.

Detached amen, again referring to the words of another speaker but without a complementary affirmative sentence, e.g. Nehemiah 5:13.

Social Story ratio: Two to five cooperative, descriptive, perspective, and/or affirmative sentences for every directive or control sentence.

Questions (both with an interrogative pronoun and yes/no questions) have the same structure as affirmative sentences, but with intonation rising at the end.

Obligatory transformations applied on the "terminal strings" of the grammar produce the "kernel of the language", which are simple, active, declarative and affirmative sentences.

Chavacano generally follows the simple verb-subject-object or verb-object-subject sentence structure typical of Tagalog and Cebuano in declarative affirmative sentences:

A syntax of yes-no question in the form "X-not-X" is actually a contraction of a combination of syntax of an affirmative sentence and the syntax of a negative sentence.

In Sinhalese, all indicative sentences whether negative or affirmative, exhibits two tenses - past and non past, but in Vedda a three-term tense system is used in affirmative sentences, but not in negative.

There is a tense-aspect marker ke which often appears in second position in affirmative sentences in the present tense, giving X Aux S O V order (e.g. S Aux O V).

Furthermore, traditional grammar sees in the finite verb a word which predicates something about its subject: The grammatical function of a finite verb is to serve as a predicate word, that is, in an ordinary affirmative sentence to state something about the subject of the sentence.
