The document discusses two types of sentences: asking sentences and telling sentences. An asking sentence ends with a question mark and asks something, while a telling sentence ends with a period and tells something. Examples are provided from stories like "Stone Soup" and "Belling the Cat" to illustrate asking and telling sentences. The reader is prompted to identify asking and telling sentences in sample sentences and identify question marks and periods.
