The Types of

Sentences
According to
Purpose
A declarative sentence
makes a statement or
expresses opinion. It
declares something and
ends with a period.
Examples:

• I’m going to town. (I’ve declared


something I’m going to do.)

• I don’t like the new mayor. (I’ve


expressed opinion.)
An imperative sentence has a
little more responsibility; it can
make a request, give a
command or direction and can
end with a period or an
exclamation point.
It can also sometimes be
stated like a question,
but a reply isn’t
necessary and neither is
a question mark.
Examples:
• Will you please open the door. (This is
considered making a request or giving
direction and not a question so it
doesn’t need a question mark.)

• Close the door. (This is a command.)


An interrogative sentence
is like an interrogation; it
asks questions and ends
with a question mark.
Examples:

• How are you?

• Do you love him?


An exclamatory
sentence expresses
strong emotion like
fear and excitement.
Examples:

• “I am a strong woman! You


can’t beat me!”

• “I hate you!”
An exclamation point can also
follow an interjection:

• “Ouch! You stepped on my


toe.”
