The purpose of this paper is Grammatical solution on sentence type for school grammar in Sino-Korean. For this, I researched problems in Sino-Korean grammar books. Studies on Chinese Composition system are just in an early stage, and so are studies of classification of grammatical parts. Moreover, there are so many variations in the Sino-Korean grammar books and the terms used are very confusing. Such being the case, this study tried to catch a glimpse of different aspects in the study of Sino-Korean composition and to establish sentence type and terms for the purpose of preparing the basis of school grammar. I suggested a standards of analysis of sentence type and it is as follows; First, sentence type by analyzing voice is active sentence, factitive sentence, passive sentence. Second, sentence type by analyzing predicate character is judgment sentence, descriptive sentence, declarative sentence. Third, sentence type by analyzing speaker`s intention is indicative sentence, interrogative sentence, imperative sentence, exclamatory sentence. Fourth, sentence type by analyzing modality is optative sentence, hypothetical sentence, conjectural sentence. Fifth the rest sentence type is negative sentence, definite sentence, comparative sentence, rhetorical question, climactic sentence. In this paper, I analysed Sino-Korean grammar books. I am looking forward to critical opinions from the specialists in the education of Sino-Korean and composition. I expect that further study in this field will help to make better school grammar.
