1. Declarative Sentences: These sentences make a statement or assertion. They declare something to be true or false. They end with a period (.).
*Example:* The cat sat on the mat.
2. Interrogative Sentences: These sentences ask a question. They always end with a question mark (?).
*Example:* Did you see the cat?
3. Imperative Sentences: These sentences give a command, make a request, or express a plea. They often end with a period (.), but can sometimes end with an exclamation point (!) depending on the strength of the command or request. The subject (you) is often implied rather than explicitly stated.
*Example:* Close the door. (Command)
*Example:* Please pass the salt. (Request)
*Example:* Leave me alone! (Plea/Strong Command)
4. Exclamatory Sentences: These sentences express strong emotion or feeling. They always end with an exclamation point (!).
*Example:* That's fantastic!
It's important to note that a single sentence can sometimes combine elements of these categories. For example, a sentence could be both interrogative and exclamatory: "Didn't you see that amazing sunset?!"
