Whether writing or speaking, there are four basic or common types of sentences that are used. These sentence types include: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory.
A declarative sentence makes a statement and ends with a period (.).
1 .
For the sentence below, determine which type of sentence it is and which mark should be used.
Stop hitting your brother or I’ll pull the car over_
Stop hitting your brother or I’ll pull the car over_
Declarative (.)
Imperative (.)
Interrogative (?)
Exclamatory (!)
The word “stop” is a verb and when used as the first word in a sentence it alerts you that a direction or command is being given. As imperative sentences give instructions or demands, we can easily determine that the correct answer to this question is Answer (b).
2 .
For the sentence below, determine which type of sentence it is and which mark should be used.

Mr. Hendrickson is the new football coach_
Declarative (.)
Imperative (.)
Interrogative (?)
Exclamatory (!)
This sentence is making a simple statement about who the new football coach is. It is not asking a question. It is not giving us instruction. It is not expressing a strong emotion. It is, therefore, a simple declarative statement. The correct answer is Answer (a).
3 .
For the sentence below, determine which type of sentence it is and which mark should be used.

Declarative (.)
Imperative (.)
Interrogative (?)
Exclamatory (!)
The message being given in this sentence is one that shows emotion or excitement over how she looks in her wedding dress. When expressing an emotion we need to use an exclamation point at the end of the sentence to show that emotion. That makes this sentence an exclamatory sentence so Answer (d) is the correct answer.

Other words that will alert you that a question is being asked include “what”, “where”, “when”, “who”, “why”, “how” and “do” when they appear as the first word in a sentence. This sentence begins with “did” so that quickly alerts us to know that this sentence is an interrogative sentence. Answer (c) is the correct answer.
