It is useful to understand the four types of sentences to be able to properly match punctuation.
Today’s grammar and usage lesson is on types of sentences.
Now let’s read the grammar and usage lesson and study the examples.
Sentences can be classified in four ways:
1. A declarative is a statement and ends in a period. Example: I am crying.
2. An interrogative is a question and ends in a question mark. Example: Are you crying?
3. An imperative is a command and ends in a period. Example: Stop crying.
4. An exclamatory expresses surprise or strong emotion and ends in an exclamation point. Example: I am shocked!
Now circle or highlight what is right and revise what is wrong according to grammar and usage lesson.
Practice: What is that smell! I’m not sure. It’s horrible. Take it out of here, please.
Let’s check the Practice Answers.
