Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll add the correct end mark (period, question mark, or exclamation point) and then write what kind of sentence it is.
Remember:
-
Declarative = makes a statement → ends with
.
-
Interrogative = asks a question → ends with
?
-
Imperative = gives a command → usually ends with
. or
!
-
Exclamatory = shows strong feeling → ends with
!

1.
The bus is here
→ This is telling us something — a fact. So it’s declarative. Add a period.
✔ End mark: .
✔ Type: declarative
2.
Is it time to go
→ This is asking a question. So it’s interrogative. Add a question mark.
✔ End mark: ?
✔ Type: interrogative
3.
Don’t leave your suitcase behind
→ This is giving an order/command. So it’s imperative. Can use ! for emphasis, but . also works. Since it’s a warning, let’s use !
✔ End mark: !
✔ Type: imperative
4.
This trip will be fun
→ Just stating something — not excited yet, just facts. Declarative.
✔ End mark: .
✔ Type: declarative
5.
The poster calls it a “magical getaway.”
→ Already has a period inside the quotes — that’s fine. It’s still making a statement.
✔ End mark: . (already there)
✔ Type: declarative
6.
Does that mean there will be magic tricks
→ Asking a question → interrogative. Needs ?
✔ End mark: ?
✔ Type: interrogative
7.
No, don’t be silly
→ Telling someone not to do something → command → imperative. Could use ! because it sounds like you’re stopping them urgently.
✔ End mark: !
✔ Type: imperative
8.
It means we’ll all be gone for the weekend
→ Stating a fact → declarative.
✔ End mark: .
✔ Type: declarative
9.
I think we can all use the break
→ Sharing an opinion/statement → declarative.
✔ End mark: .
✔ Type: declarative
10.
Isn’t that what a getaway is all about
→ This is actually a rhetorical question — still a question! So interrogative. Needs ?
✔ End mark: ?
✔ Type: interrogative
