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!
                                                                                

Suffix: -y and -ly

The suffix -y most often means "like" or "full of." Keep in mind that words that end with e drop the e before adding -y. Also words which end with a vowel followed by a consonant require that the consonant be doubled before adding -y. Here are some examples.

                                                                                
  full of smell         smell + y       smelly
                                                                                
  like a bush           bush + y        bushy
                                                                                
  full of mud           mud + y         muddy

The suffix -ly most often means "in the manner of." Here are some examples.

                                                                                
  slow + ly             slowly
                                                                                
  quick + ly            quickly
                                                                                
  slick + ly            slickly
                                                                                
  generous + ly         qenerously
