Kinds of Sentences - 6th Grade Grammar
There are four different types of sentences. Each begins with a capital letter and ends with an end mark.
| A declarative sentence makes a statement. It ends with a period. | We watched the snow fall. Tennis, badminton, table tennis, and racquetball are types of racquet sports. I enjoy tennis, because we play outdoors in the spring and summer. Racquetball is much faster than tennis because you hit the ball against a wall. |
| An interrogative sentence asks a question. It ends with a question mark. | How much will we get? Which racquet sport do you enjoy most? Have you played tennis on an indoor court? |
| A imperative sentence tells or asks someone to do something. It ends with a period. | Listen to the forecast. Tell me more about badminton. Always wear protective goggles when you play racquetball. |
| An exclamatory sentence shows strong feeling. It ends with an exclamation mark. | Snow days are my favorite! Look out for the ball! |
