audio button Let's practice identifying the different types of sentences. Decide whether each sentence is declarative, interrogative, or exclamatory.

Sentence

Type of Sentence

Can you show me how that works?

Interrogative

I have to be there in 10 minutes.

Declarative

What a great surprise that was!

Exclamatory

Could you please help me with this?

Interrogative

What time is it?

Interrogative

Ouch! That cactus is sharp!

Exclamatory

He has a motorcycle.

Declarative

Great job!

audio button Try again. Remember that declarative sentences make a statement, interrogative sentences ask a question, and exclamatory sentences make an exclamation.
