Identifying a Sentence as Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, or Exclamatory Part 1

There are four types of sentences:

 

A declarative sentence forms a statement. It tells about something and always ends in a period (.)

 

I have traveled the whole world.

 

An interrogative sentence asks a question. It always ends in a question mark (?).

 

Where is the library? 

 

An imperative sentence makes a command or a polite request. It ends in an exclamation point (!) or a period (.). If the command is forceful, use an exclamation point. If the command is polite or is a request, use a period.

 

Please turn off the radio.    (polite request)

 

Get out!               (command)

 

An exclamatory sentence shows surprise or strong feeling. It always ends in an exclamation point (!).

 

I can’t wait to see the game!
