Let's go through each question and determine the correct type of sentence. We'll analyze based on the
four types of sentences:
1.
Declarative – makes a statement or gives information. Ends with a period.
2.
Interrogative – asks a question. Ends with a question mark.
3.
Imperative – gives a command or request. Often starts with a verb, may not have a subject explicitly stated.
4.
Exclamatory – expresses strong emotion. Ends with an exclamation mark.
