There are four basic, common types of sentences. These include: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory.
A declarative sentence makes a statement and ends with a period (.).
Example: Carol Ann went to the library.
Imperative sentences give directions/instructions or demands and also end with a period (.)
Example: Make sure to read Chapter 7 tonight for your homework assignment.
Interrogative sentences ask a question and end with a question mark (?).
Example: Where did you buy your shoes?
Exclamatory sentences are sentences that express strong emotions and excitement. They end with an exclamation point (!).
Example: Getting to meet the President was amazing!
