When we write there are four different basic types of sentences:

1. Declarative: a sentence that makes a statement. These ALWAYS end in periods.
2. Interrogative: to interrogate means to question. Interrogative sentences ask a question. These ALWAYS end in question marks. (?)
3. Exclamatory: To exclaim means to say or shout something. Exclamatory sentences are sentences that indicate surprise, excitement, or passion. These types of sentences USUALLY end in exclamation points! but they could also end in periods.
4. Imperative: If something is imperative it is important for you to do (a command!) A sentence that makes a request, command, or order, like "Sit down!" or "Be quiet!" are imperative sentences. These usually end in exclamation points or periods just like the exclamatory sentence. Don't get them confused! (another example of an imperative sentence...)
