Can You Identify the Sentences?

Introduction

We know that a statement ends with a period, a question ends with a question mark, and an exclamation sentence ends with an exclamation point. But what about a declarative sentence? What does a declarative sentence end with? How about an interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory sentence? What do those three sentences end with? 

Today we will be learning about the four main types of sentences. The four main sentences are declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. Let's dig in!
