Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Print Concepts
Select the type of sentence that is provided:

Imperative
Declarative
Interrogative
Exclamatory
Exclamatory
Looking at our answer choices, there are four types of sentences:
- A declarative sentence is a sentence that tells the reader about something, and it will always end with a period.
- An imperative sentence is a sentence that is a command, it tells someone to do something. This type of sentence will end in either a period or an exclamation point.
- An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks something, it's a question. This type of sentence will always end with a question mark.
- An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that shows excitement, surprise, or a strong emotion. This type of sentence will always end with an exclamation point.
Let's look at the sentence from the question:
I got an A+ on my science project!
This sentence ends in an exclamation point and it is showing excitement; thus, this sentence is an exclamatory sentence.
