​Not all sentences do the same job. Different sentences all have different purposes and will end differently.

​

​Some sentences just tell us something.

​ I am happy.

​It is hot

​She is my sister.

​

​These are called statements or Declarative sentences.

​They all end with a full stop (.)

​Other sentences ask a question.

​Who are you?

​ Are you ok?

​What time is it?

​

​ These are called questions or interrogative sentences. The all end with a question mark (?)

​Some sentences show feelings like happiness, fear or anger.

​

​

​​ Stop that !

​ I am so happy!

​ That monster is scary!

​

​

​These are called exclamations or exclamatory sentences. They all end with an exclamation mark (!)
