  1. Sentences

  2. Definition of a Sentence • Every sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with punctuation. • Sentences express a complete thought. • There are four types of sentences we use when we write: • Declarative • Interrogative • Imperative • Exclamatory

  3. Declarative • A statement is a telling sentence. • A statement ends with a period (.). • I am responsible for the choices I make.

  4. Interrogative • A question is an asking sentence. • Questions end with a question mark (?). • Questions often begin with who, what, when, where, how, or why. • What time is it?

  5. Imperative • A command is a sentence that gives an order. • Commands end with a period (.). • Commands can begin with “please” or an introduction word. • Please get out your pencil.

  6. Exclamatory • An exclamation is an excited sentence. • Exclamations end with an exclamation point (!). • Exclamations can begin with question words, but don’t ask a question. • What a huge dog that is!

  7. What type is each sentence? • Where is my coat? • Go get your book. • My dog’s name is Toby. • I won! • Please sit down. • Joey is absent today. • How many apples are on the tree?
