Step-by-step solution for: Types of Sentences online pdf exercise for 2-7
Let's solve this step-by-step.
We are asked to:
1. Insert the correct punctuation at the end of each sentence.
2. Identify the type of sentence for each one: Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, or Exclamatory.
---
- Declarative: Makes a statement. Ends with a period (.)
- Interrogative: Asks a question. Ends with a question mark (?)
- Imperative: Gives a command or request. Often ends with a period, but can be exclamatory. May use a period or exclamation mark.
- Exclamatory: Expresses strong emotion. Ends with an exclamation mark (!)
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. Melissa received a new Art Set from her Auntie Pamela
- This is a statement — it tells us something.
- Needs a period at the end.
- Type: Declarative
✔ Answer: *Melissa received a new Art Set from her Auntie Pamela.* → Declarative
---
2. Why is there a large, black spot on the living room carpet
- This is a question — asking for a reason.
- Needs a question mark.
- Type: Interrogative
✔ Answer: *Why is there a large, black spot on the living room carpet?* → Interrogative
---
3. Watch out before that chair leg breaks
- This is a warning or command.
- It expresses urgency or caution.
- Should end with an exclamation mark to show warning.
- Type: Imperative (but with strong emotion → could be Exclamatory imperative)
However, since it's a command, and often such warnings are considered imperative unless very emotional.
- But note: "Watch out!" is typically exclamatory in tone, even if grammatically imperative.
- Best choice: Exclamatory (because of the strong warning tone)
✔ Answer: *Watch out before that chair leg breaks!* → Exclamatory
> Note: Some might say "Imperative", but because of the emotional urgency ("watch out!"), it's best classified as Exclamatory.
---
4. Come on in and take a seat while I finish breakfast
- This is a polite request/command.
- Ends with a period (it's not urgent or emotional).

---
5. Is there a reasoning you are sitting in the dark by yourself
- This is a question — starting with "Is".
- Needs a question mark.
- The phrase “a reasoning” is awkward; should be “reason” or “reason why”, but we're not editing grammar — just punctuation and type.
- Type: Interrogative
✔ Answer: *Is there a reasoning you are sitting in the dark by yourself?* → Interrogative
---
6. Please put the stale food in a bag and place it in the freezer
- This is a polite request — command-like.
- Ends with a period.
- Type: Imperative

7. Stop running in the house before you fall

✔ Answer: *Stop running in the house before you fall!* → Exclamatory
---
8. I have never been so livid in my life
- This is a statement expressing strong emotion.
- Ends with a period or possibly an exclamation mark.
- But since it's a declarative statement (even if emotional), it's still declarative.
- However, if it were shouted, it would be exclamatory. Here, it's stated.
- So: Declarative
- But wait: "I have never been so livid..." — this is a strong feeling, but still a statement.

- Punctuation: period
✔ Answer: *I have never been so livid in my life.* → Declarative
