Declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory are types of sentences. Sentences can be used to express statements (affirmative and negative expressions), commands and questions. For example:

  • 'It's hot' (affirmative statement)
  • 'It's not hot' (negative statement)
  • 'Sit down, please' (command)
  • Don't talk back! (command)
  • 'Do you like English?' (question)

You should recognize a question if it's written as it will have a question mark at the end. Can you recognize a spoken question? Written commands sometimes have an exclamation mark at the end - but not always as in our examples above.

Test your skills in this elementary school quiz and see if you can beat your classmates!
