1. “Leave the room at once” — This is a command, telling someone to do something right away. It sounds urgent or strong → use
!
2. “What a bright day it is” — This is an expression of excitement or admiration about the weather → use
!
3. “We saw three birds perched on a high branch” — This is just stating a fact, nothing exciting or asking anything → use
.
4. “Where are my keys” — This is asking a question → use
?
5. “Is that the man you saw” — Also asking a question → use
?
6. “Do as you are told” — Another command, like #1 → use
