  3. Identifying and Punctuating the Kinds of Sentences: • At the end of this lesson you should be able to identify the following sentence types: • Imperative • Interrogative • Declarative • Exclamatory

  4. Imperative • Imperative sentences are sentences that make a request or command. • Examples: • Get me some water. • Leave that cat alone. • Go to the store for me. • Bring me some ice.

  5. Subjects of Imperative Sentences • Did you know that many people assume that imperative sentences have no subject when they really do, the subject of imperative sentences is always you, since in these type of sentences, the person that is making the command or request is always asking you to do something. For this reason, the subject in imperative sentences is called you (understood) because, all though the subject may not be visible in the sentence, it is understood that the subject is always you. • To get a clearer understanding, check these sentences out; • (You) get me some water. • (You) leave the cat alone. • (You) go to the store for me. • (You) Bring me some ice.

  6. Interrogative • Interrogative sentences are the sentences that form a question. • For example: • What do you think I should wear the pink shoes or the white sneakers? • What did the teacher say to you yesterday? • Did you go to the movies yesterday?

  7. Declarative • Declarative sentences are the sentences that form a statement; • For example: • Tomorrow I will go to the store. • Yesterday I left school early. • I told her to wear the blue skirt. • She did not want to eat the pizza that I gave her. • We walked to the mall together.

  8. Exclamatory • Exclamatory sentences are the sentences that attempt to convey powerful feelings, or emotions; • For example: • I'm leaving! • I can not wait to graduate! • I love you so much! • We beat that other team by a lot! • I can't believe how tall giraffes really are! • I can't believe this, I am so upset!

  9. How do you tell the difference? • The best way to distinguish one sentence from the other is to memorize what each type of sentence does, for instance you can say, declarative sentences are the statement sentences, interrogative sentences are the question sentences, imperative sentences are the request and command sentences, or the giving order sentences, and exclamatory sentences are the ones that show a strong feeling or emotion.

  10. Now you try: • Leave the package at the door • Do you have your homework ready • I have an appointment at 2:00 today • No, you did not have permission to stay out this late • Walk through this door and turn left at the next hallway

  11. Next Group: • Did you go to the game Friday night • Our team won the championship • Tomorrow I leave for France • Would you prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream • I just won the lottery

  12. Last Group: • Which songs do you like best • Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth • It’s a nice day for a walk along the beach • I can’t figure this out • After the snow storm, the air smelled fresh and clean
