Welcome to our English lesson! Today, we will learn about different types of sentences. Understanding whether a sentence is a statement, question, command, or exclamation will help us communicate better. Let’s break it down!

What are the Types of Sentences?

1. Statement

A statement is a sentence that tells us something. It gives information and ends with a full stop (.).

Example: The cat is sleeping.

2. Question

A question asks for information. It usually starts with words like who, what, where, when, why, or how, and ends with a question mark (?).

Example: Where is my book?

3. Command

A command gives an order or tells someone to do something. It often starts with a verb and ends with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!).

Example: Please close the door.

4. Exclamation

An exclamation shows strong feelings or emotions. It often starts with “what” or “how” and ends with an exclamation mark (!).

Example: What a beautiful day!

Key Rules to Remember

  • Statements provide information and always end with a full stop.
  • Questions ask something and always end with a question mark.
  • Commands tell someone to do something and may end with a full stop or an exclamation mark.
  • Exclamations express strong feelings and always end with an exclamation mark.

Tips and Tricks

  • Look for the punctuation at the end of the sentence. This gives you a big hint about its type!
  • Think about the purpose of the sentence. Is it giving information, asking something, telling someone to do something, or expressing a feeling?
  • Practice by changing statements into questions or commands to see how they can change!
