The worksheet defines four types of sentences based on their function and ending punctuation:
1. Imperative — Gives a command or request. Usually starts with a verb (often with an implied “you”). Ends with a period (.)
→ *Example: “Do your assignments…”* — This is telling someone what to do.
2. Declarative — Makes a statement or expresses a fact. Ends with a period (.).
→ *Examples: “Walking up that mountain is dangerous.” / “He is the leader…”*
3. Interrogative — Asks a question. Always ends with a question mark (?).
→ *Examples: “How was your day…?” / “Who is the most popular singer?”*
4. Exclamatory — Expresses strong emotion or surprise. Ends with an exclamation point (!).
→ *Examples: “I’m so excited I passed the test!” / “Congratulations on your achievement!”*

- Sentence #6: “You need to get with the program.”
While this might sound like a command, it’s technically declarative because it states a fact (“you need to...”) rather than giving a direct order like “Get with the program!” which would be imperative. The word “need” makes it a statement of necessity, not a command.
- Sentence #3 & #9: These express excitement or emotion → Exclamatory.
- All questions, even those starting with “Who,” “What,” or “Can,” are interrogative.
