Four Types of Sentences and
their Punctuation Marks
StatementA statement is a sentence that simply gives
information. It ends with a period. We call these declarative sentences.
My teacher is Mr. Gonzalez.
I live in Washington.
Yesterday my mom went to the store.
QuestionA question asks for information. It often begins with
the words who, what, when, where, how or why. A question ends with a question mark. We call these interrogative sentences.
Who is your teacher?
Where do you live?
Did she really mean it?
ExclamationAn exclamation is a sentence that expresses a strong
emotion, like fear, anger, or surprise. It ends with an exclamation point. We call these exclamatory sentences.
The house is on fire!
I am so surprised by your behavior!
Wow!
What an awesome story!
!
CommandA command is a sentence that tells someone to do
something, or to think or believe something. It can end with a period or an exclamation point if you want to make it stronger. We call these imperative sentences.
Bring me your paper.
Please call your mom.
Go to the store now.
Put out that fire!
