I know every answer, and I'm going to teach you how to figure it out for yourself rather that just tell you.





A declarative sentence states a fact or opinion. The roses are wilting. The dog has run into the street. Scientists study weather patterns.





An interrogative sentence asks a question and should end with a question mark (?). Do you like jazz? Where did Trixie run off to? How's the weather in London?





An imperative sentence gives an order. Listen to your father. Don't swim right after eating. Hang up the phone and go to bed.





An exclamatory sentence makes an exclamation, noting surprise, wonder, awe, etc., and ends with an exclamation mark/point (!). What an idiot Maryn is! You're going to be sorry you said that, mister! Man, it's hot!





There, now you can do your own homework.

Reply:You are apparently of the generation who actually think text messaging is a good thing. Unfortunately, as you may already suspect, texting is harming you in insidious ways. Distinguishing the differences between types of sentences is basic to reading, writing and speaking correct English. Those who master English will always do better in life than those who don't, or won't. Trust me.





1.Our family's garden is behind the barn


This is a simple declarative sentence. A declarative sentence gives information. The information this sentence gives is the location of the garden.





2.Who has the green thumb in your family


This is an interrogative sentence, otherwise known as a question. A question asks for information. You would answer this question with a declarative sentence: "My mother has the green thumb in my family."





3.You should see the beautiful marigolds and zinnias


This one is tricky. Depending on the intention of the speaker, it could be imperative or exclamatory. I'm leaning toward exclamatory because of the word "should". If it were strictly imperative, it would be more like "Go see the beautiful marigolds and zinnias."





4.Larry, bring a basket along with you


Imperative. An imperative sentence gives an order or an instuction. Larry is being told to bring a basket; he is not being asked.





5.Do you see the rows of tomatoes


Interrogative.





6.What a huge tomato this is


Exclamation.





7.Is this the biggest one in the garden


Interrogative.





8.Give your aunt Verna this large, ripe tomato


Imperiatve.





9.How the Lord has blessed us


Exclamation.





10.Thank God for his bountiful blessings


Imperative.





You will notice the absence of a subject in many imperative sentences, such as numbers 8 and 10. In these cases, the subject is "you", but it is implied. If you can put the word "you" in front of a sentence and still have it make sense, it is an imperative sentence. "You, give your Aunt Verna this large, ripe tomato." "You, thank God for his bountiful blessings."





In short, a declarative sentence gives information. An interrogative sentence is a question. An imperative sentence gives an order or instruction. An exclamatory sentence shows expression or excitement. To make things confusing, any type of question can also be exclamatory in nature. Sentence number 2, for instance, is a question. But suppose there is a beautiful garden at your house. You invite a friend to visit who has never been to your house before. When you show your friend the garden, he or she might exclaim "Who has the green thumb in your family?" Don't be fooled. It's still a question, even though it's spoken in an exclamatory voice.

Declarative means to declare or state a fact or argument, without requiring either an answer or action from the reader.





Interrogative is a question





Imperative gives a direct command





Exclamatory is simply a more forceful version of declarative. Something you would put an exclamation point at the end of.








Hope this helps
Reply:A declarative sentence tells something factual. For instance, "My name is Bob," is a declarative sentence, because you are declaring something to be true.





An interrogative sentence is one that asks a question, like, "Where are my keys?"





An IMPERATIVE (not impersative) sentence is one in which a command is issued, such as, "Clean your room."





Finally, an exclamatory sentence is, most obviously, an exclamation, like, "How beautiful that is!"





I hope this will help you to identify these sentences.
Reply:I'll start you off. Fair enough?





A declarative sentence STATES something: a fact or thought.





An interrogative sentence ASKS something; it's a question.





An exclamatory sentence is a forceful interjection. It often begins with question words, but ends with an exclamation mark: "How lovely!" or "Isn't that wonderful!"


(It doesn't have to end with an exclamation mark, and not every sentence that ends with an exclamation mark is an exclamatory sentence.)





I think you mean "imperative." An imperative sentence is a command, and may end with an exclamation mark: "Take the cat upstairs!" But it doesn't have to have a sharp, commanding tone: "Please take the cat upstairs" is also an imperative.





I'm giving you one example of each, and you should be able to do the rest on your own, okay?
