1. Statement- tells someone something
2. Command- tells someone to do something
3. Question- asks a question
4. Exclamation- shows excitement or strong emotion
This is fine for younger students, but students in grades 3-5 need to know more technical terms. Check out how sentences have changed!
1. Statement------> Declarative sentence
2. Command--------> Imperative sentence (shows urgency, needs to be done quickly)
3. Question---------> Interrogative sentence (like when the police interrogate someone, they ask questions!)
4. Exclamation------> Exclamatory sentence
The 3rd grade team had our students create a flip chart of the different types of sentences for future reference.
Interrogative (question words)
Declarative (statement that tells you something)
Exclamatory (shows strong emotion or excitement)
Imperative (shows urgency, needs to be done quickly)
