  3. The Four Kinds of Sentences • A declarative sentence tells what someone or something is or does. It ends with a period. • An interrogative sentence asks a question. It ends with a question mark. • An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period. It may end with an exclamation point. • An exclamatory sentence shows strong feeling. It ends with an exclamation point.

  4. Finding the Subject in Interrogative Sentences • In many interrogative sentences, part of the predicate comes before the subject. • To find the subject, change the interrogative sentence (question) into a declarative sentence (statement). Then find the subject and the predicate of the new sentence. • Did the president lie about it? • The president did lie about it.

  5. Finding the Subject in Imperative Sentences • In most imperative sentences, only the predicate is written or spoken. The subject of the sentence is understood. That subject is you. • “Turn off the light” has the same meaning as “You turn off the light.”
