Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out what type it is.
We have four types to choose from:
-
Declarative – tells something (ends with a period)
-
Imperative – gives a command or request (often starts with a verb, ends with period or exclamation)
-
Interrogative – asks a question (ends with a question mark)
-
Exclamatory – shows strong feeling (ends with an exclamation point)
