Let’s go step by step.
We are told there are 4 types of sentences:
- D = Declarative → a statement (tells something)
- I = Interrogative → a question (asks something)
- Im = Imperative → a command (tells someone to do something)
- E = Exclamatory → expresses strong feelings (often ends with !)
Now, let’s look at each sentence:
1) “My teacher is nice.”
→ This tells us something. It’s a statement.
→ So,
D
2) “Is my teacher nice?”
→ This asks a question.
→ So,
I
3) “Eat your vegetables.”
→ This is telling someone to do something — a command.
→ So,
Im
4) “Your teacher is nice!”
→ This says something but with excitement or strong feeling (exclamation mark).
→ So,
E
5) “The squirrels gather hazelnuts.”
→ This is just stating a fact. No question, no command, no exclamation.
→ So,
D
6) “Do the squirrels gather hazelnuts?”
→ This is asking a question.
→ So,
I
7) “Gather those hazelnuts.”
→ Telling someone to do something — a command.
→ So,
Im
8) “The squirrels gather nuts!”
→ Says something, but with an exclamation mark → shows strong feeling.
→ So,
E
