    There are four types of

    sentences:
    Declarative
    Imperative
    Exclamatory
    Interrogative

    A declarative sentence
    makes a statement.
    It is punctuated by a
    period.
    Example: The dog in
    the neighbors yard is
    barking.

    An imperative sentence is
    a command or polite
    request.
    It ends in a period or
    exclamation mark.
    Examples:
    Close the door. (command)
    Please be quiet.
    (polite request)

    An exclamatory
    sentence expresses
    great emotion or
    excitement.
    It ends in an
    exclamation mark.
    Example:
    The house is on fire!

    An interrogative sentence asks a


    question.

    It ends in a

    Example:
    Is it raining?

    This summer I visited Six Flags Over Texas.


    Several of my friends went with me. We had lots of fun.
    There were lots of exciting rides. My favorite was the Titan
    rollercoaster. It had lots of twists and turns at 90 miles per hour.
    We rode it at least three times. I would like to visit Six Flags again.
