#The_Sentence (4 Semantic Types):

#Tip 3.
Sentences may be declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory.

1. A declarative sentence declares or asserts something as a fact.

Dickens wrote “David Copperfield.”
The army approached the city.


2. An interrogative sentence asks a question.

Who is that officer?
Does Arthur Moore live here?


3. An imperative sentence expresses a command or a request.

Open the window.
Pronounce the vowels more distinctly.


4. An exclamatory sentence expresses surprise, grief, or some other emotion in the form of an exclamation or cry.

How calm the sea is!
What a noise the engine makes!


A declarative, an interrogative, or an imperative sentence is also exclamatory, if it is uttered in an intense or excited tone of voice.
