Understanding the Task
The goal is to
add the correct ending punctuation to each sentence based on its type:
1.
Declarative sentence (makes a statement) → ends with a
period (. )
2.
Interrogative sentence (asks a question) → ends with a
question mark (? )
3.
Exclamatory sentence (expresses emotion or excitement) → ends with an
exclamation point (!)
We'll go through each sentence and determine which punctuation fits.
