Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out what type it is or what punctuation it needs.

Part 1: Identify the types of sentences
We have four types to choose from:
-
Declarative – tells something (ends with a period)
-
Imperative – gives a command or request (often ends with a period, sometimes exclamation)
-
Interrogative – asks a question (ends with a question mark)
-
Exclamatory – shows strong feeling (ends with an exclamation mark)
Now let’s look at each:
1. *Sam went on the beach with friends.*
→ This is telling us something. No question, no command, no strong emotion.
✔ Declarative
2. *Congratulations on your achievement!*
→ This shows excitement or strong feeling. The exclamation mark helps too!
✔ Exclamatory
3. *Please finish your glass of milk.*
→ This is asking someone to do something — a polite command.
✔ Imperative
4. *What an amazing view!*
→ Again, showing strong feeling — awe or surprise. Exclamation mark confirms it.
✔ Exclamatory
5. *Are these your belongings?*
→ This is asking a question. Question mark at the end.
✔ Interrogative

Part 2: Choose correct punctuation
We pick from: . ? !
6. *How was your day at school ___*
→ Starts with “How” — that’s usually a question. So we need a question mark.
✔ ?
7. *Do your assignments in class on time ___*
→ This is telling someone to do something — a command. Even though it starts with “Do”, it’s not a question here. It’s imperative → use period.
✔ .
8. *I’m so excited I passed the test ___*
→ Shows strong emotion — excitement! Needs exclamation mark.
✔ !
9. *He is the leader of the group ___*
→ Just stating a fact. Normal sentence → period.
✔ .
10. *Can you cancel the concert ___*
→ Starts with “Can you…” — that’s asking if someone can do something → question.
✔ ?
