3. Let’s start with the Declarative
Sentence.
A declarative sentence tells something.
It ends with a period.

Sentence.

such a unique rescue plan.

in a period.
This sentence
TELLS someone’s
opinion about
James’ rescue
plan.

5. Now let’s talk about the
Interrogative Sentence.
An interrogative sentence asks a
question. It ends with a question
mark.

ASKS if you want
cookies.

6. The Imperative Sentence.
An imperative sentence gives an order.
It ends with a period OR an
exclamation point.

ends with a

something.

7. The Imperative Sentence.
An imperative sentence gives an order.
It ends with a period OR an
exclamation point.

something.

8. And last, but not least, the
Exclamatory Sentence.
An exclamatory sentence expresses
strong feelings. It ends with an
exclamation point.

It does this by ending
the sentence with an

strong feelings. It ends with an
exclamation point.

An exclamatory sentence expresses
strong feelings. It ends with an
exclamation point.
