3. Let’s start with the Declarative Sentence. A declarative sentence tells something. It ends with a period. John and Stephanie whisper about the surprise party for Tyra. It ends in a period. This sentence TELLS about John and Stephanie.

4. Let’s start with the Declarative Sentence. A declarative sentence tells something. It ends with a period. How clever of James to come up with such a unique rescue plan. Again, it ends in a period. This sentence TELLS someone’s opinion about James’ rescue plan.

5. Declarative Sentences For each picture shown, write five example declarative sentences.

6. Now let’s talk about the Interrogative Sentence. An interrogative sentence asks a question. It ends with a question mark. Would you like some cookies? Notice how it ends with a question mark. This sentence ASKS if you want cookies.

7. Interrogative Sentences For each picture shown, write five interrogative sentences. Each sentence must begin with a question word.

8. Interrogative Sentences Two Extension: write two interrogative sentences for each photo based on inverting the verb to be.

9. The Imperative Sentence. An imperative sentence gives an order. It ends with a period OR an exclamation point. Go walk the dog. Notice how it ends with a period. This sentence TELLS you to do something.

10. The Imperative Sentence. An imperative sentence gives an order. It ends with a period OR an exclamation point. Get out there and walk the dog! Notice how it ends with an exclamation point. This tells us the speaker REALLY wants the dog walked! Again, this sentence TELLS you to do something.

11. Imperative Sentences Write three imperative sentences for each photo.

12. And last, but not least, the Exclamatory Sentence. An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feelings. It ends with an exclamation point. My birthday party is tomorrow! It does this by ending the sentence with an exclamation point. This sentence SHOWS you how excited the speaker is.

13. And last, but not least, the Exclamatory Sentence. An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feelings. It ends with an exclamation point. Mom! Trevor’s chasing Amy with water balloons! The sentence’s punctuation tells you how to read the sentence.

14. And last, but not least, the Exclamatory Sentence. An exclamatory sentence expresses strong feelings. It ends with an exclamation point. Get out there and walk the dog! It does this by ending the sentence with an exclamation point. This sentence is BOTH imperative and exclamatory! Coming back to this sentence, we notice that it is an imperative sentence that expresses strong feelings.
