Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out what type it is.
We have 4 types:
-
D = Declarative → makes a statement (tells something)
-
Im = Imperative → gives a command or tells someone to do something
-
In = Interrogative → asks a question
-
E = Exclamatory → shows strong feeling, ends with !
---
1) “My teacher is nice.”
→ This is telling us something. It’s a statement.
✔ D
2) “Is my teacher nice?”
→ This is asking a question.
✔ In
3) “Eat your vegetables.”
→ This is telling someone to do something — a command.
✔ Im
4) “Your teacher is nice!”
→ This says the same as #1, but with an exclamation mark — showing excitement or strong feeling.
✔ E
5) “The squirrels gather hazelnuts.”
→ Just stating a fact. No question, no command, no emotion.
✔ D
6) “Do the squirrels gather hazelnuts?”
→ Asking a question.
✔ In
7) “Gather those hazelnuts.”
→ Telling someone to do something — a command.
✔ Im
8) “The squirrels gather nuts!”
→ Stating something, but with excitement (!). So it’s exclamatory.
✔ E
