A declarative sentence simply makes a statement or expresses an opinion. In other words, it makes a
declaration. This kind of sentence ends with a period.
Examples:
I want to be a good writer. ( makes a statement)
My friend is a really good writer. (expresses an opinion)
An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period but can, under
certain circumstances, end with an exclamation point.
Examples:
Please sit down.
Listen, the announcer is saying something.
I need you to sit down now!
An interrogative sentence asks a question. This type of sentence often begins with who, what, where,
when, why, how, or do, and it ends with a question mark.
Examples:
Where shall we go first?
Why don’t we buy some popcorn?
Do you have your ticket?
An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that expresses great emotion such as excitement, surprise,
happiness and anger, and ends with an exclamation point.
Examples:
Hurry! The show is about to begin!
Wonderful!
It is too dangerous to climb that mountain!
I got A on my book report!
