Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll add the correct end mark (period, question mark, or exclamation point) and then write what kind of sentence it is.
Remember:
-
Declarative = makes a statement → ends with
.
-
Interrogative = asks a question → ends with
?
-
Imperative = gives a command → usually ends with
., sometimes
! if strong
-
Exclamatory = shows strong feeling → ends with
!
