Types of Sentences

There are four main types of sentences: Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamatory.

Each type of sentence serves a different purpose and will be explained below. Each type of sentence also requires a specific punctuation, but this is not the only way to determine sentence type.

Declarative: A declarative sentence gives some type of information. Declarative sentences end in a period and offer an explanation for something or just basic information.

Example: The girl jumped over the puddle to keep from getting her feet wet.

Interrogative: An interrogative sentence asks a question. Interrogative sentences always end with a question mark.

Example: What are you going to do after the movie?

Imperative: An imperative sentence is bossy and/or gives a command. Imperative sentences end with a period.

Example: Go to your room right away.

Exclamatory: An exclamatory sentence shows strong feelings. Exclamatory sentences end with an exclamation point. This is an easy way to identify this sentence type.

Example: I’m so excited to go to the party after school!
