1. Statement sentences
- give us information, and they normally end with a full-stop/period.
- e.g. We do not like the new decorations.

- ask us something.

- e.g. Why are you going to town?
3. Imperative sentences (command)
- give a command.
- they tell us to do something, and they end with a full-stop or exclamation mark.
- note that there is usually no subject—because the subject is understood, it is
YOU.
- e.g. Get out of my house!
4. Exclamative sentences (exclamation)
- Exclamative sentences express strong emotion/surprise—an exclamation—and
they always end with an exclamation mark.
