Lesson 1
Kinds of Sentences
Sentences can be classified by their purpose into four categories: declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory. Sentences can be classified by their purpose. A declarative sentence makes a statement, an interrogative sentence asks a question, an imperativesentence makes a command, and an exclamatory sentence expresses strong feeling. A declarative sentence makes a statement. Place a period (.) at the end of declarative sentences. The family will go to Emily’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. While I was waiting for Nate, I fell asleep. An interrogative sentence asks a question. Use a question mark (?) to signal an interrogative sentence. Often we beginan interrogative sentence with special words such as what, who, when, which, how, why, or where. Have you done the shopping yet? Will Marisa be at the party tomorrow? Who will bring the candles for the cake? Why was Sam late for school yesterday? An imperative sentence states a command. The person making the statement is ordering someone to do something. Because an imperative sentence is a form ofstatement, it uses a period (.). Take care of your sister while I go for a jog. Do the dishes before you leave for the park. An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong emotion such as surprise, excitement, or anger. Use an exclamation mark (!) at the end of exclamations. I am so pleased to see you here today! The dog dragged mud into the house again!
