Sentences

There are four kinds of sentences:


  DECLARATIVE - A declarative sentence is a statement that ends with a
      period.
	EXAMPLE: The bird landed on the roof.

  INTERROGATIVE - An interrogative sentence is a question and so it
      ends with a question mark.
	EXAMPLE: Can we eat our vegetables now?

  IMPERATIVE - An imperative sentence directs someone to do something. 
      It can end with a period or an exclamation mark.
	EXAMPLE: Wipe your feet.

  EXCLAMATORY - An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling and
      it ends with an exclamation mark.
	EXAMPLE: That really stinks!
