TYPES OF SENTENCES
Sentences are used for various purposes. We use sentences for making a
statement, asking a question, ordering or requesting or expressing a strong
feeling. According to their use, we can classify sentences into four types.

Assertive sentences
Interrogative sentences
Examples:
1) (You) Get up. 2) (You) Please help me.

(2)EXCLAMATORY SENTENCES:
An Exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling. We put an exclamation
mark (!) at the end of an Exclamatory sentence or at the end of the
exclamatory word. In such sentences the verb may be missing. Exclamatory
sentences may begin with Interjections.
Examples:
Examples:
1) Wow! What a wonderful picture.
1)How beautiful the garden is! 2) Oh no! I lost my purse.
2)What a huge picture! 3)Yuck! That sandwich is terrible.
4) Shh! Don’t wake the baby.
The words wow, hurrah, alas, oh no are called Interjections. They are used to
express sudden feelings of happiness, sorrow, surprise or disappointment.
Interjection is
always followed by an
exclamation mark.
Start the rest of the
sentence with a capital
letter.
