There are four main types of sentences: declarative, imperative, exclamatory, and interrogative. Declarative sentences make statements and end with a period, while imperative sentences give commands or requests and can end with a period or exclamation point. Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion and always end with an exclamation point. Interrogative sentences ask questions and end with a question mark.

AND ITS TYPES

2. What is a sentence?
 A sentence is a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a
subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or
command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more
subordinate clauses.
 Example:
 1) He opened the door.
 2) Come in, please.
 3) Do you like coffee?

4. Declarative Sentence
 Declarative sentences make a statement to relay information or ideas. They
are punctuated with a simple period. Formal essays or reports are
composed almost entirely of declarative sentences.
 Examples:
 The concert begins in two hours.
 July 4th is Independence Day.
 Declarative sentences make a statement.
 You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.

5. Imperative Sentences
 Imperative sentences issue commands or requests or they can express a
desire or wish. They are punctuated with a simple period or they can be
exclamations requiring an exclamation mark. It all depends on the strength
of emotion you want to express. Exclamatory sentences can consist of a
single verb or they can be more lengthy and complex.
 Examples:
 Halt!
 Yield.
 Watch for oncoming traffic.
 Respond immediately

6. Exclamatory Sentences
 Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion. It doesn’t really matter
what the emotion is, an exclamatory sentence is the type of sentence
needed to express it. Exclamatory sentences always end in an
exclamation mark, so it’s pretty easy to spot them. Use exclamatory
sentences to portray emotion but take care to use them sparingly.
Otherwise, your writing will lack sincerity.
 Examples:
 The river is rising!
 I can’t wait for the party!
 I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t pass this test!
 Oh, my goodness, I won!

7. Interrogative Sentences
 Interrogative sentences are also easy to spot. That’s because they always
ask a question and end in a question mark.
 Examples:
 Is it snowing?
 Have you had breakfast?
 Do you want Coke or Pepsi?
 Who are you taking to the prom?
