  1. Types of Sentences

  2. Declarative Sentences • Tell you a fact, make a statement, share an opinion or an observation. • Some examples: • The water is blue. • I am looking at an underwater scene. • That turtle looks very happy. • I saw a sea turtle while I was snorkeling in Hawaii.

  3. Interrogative Sentences • Ask a question, and ALWAYS end in a question mark • Some examples: • Should we go on a field trip to this place? • What did you think of the palm trees? • Would you like to go to this beach? • Do they have a Starbucks location on this island? • Could you move over just a bit?

  4. Imperative Sentences • These are “must” sentences. They tell someone what they must do, or give a command. They can end in an exclamation point, but do not have to. • Some examples: • Give me that coffee. • Stop what you’re doing! • Don’t look at me like that. • Take me back to Switzerland. • Make me some Swiss fondue for dinner.

  5. Exclamatory Sentences • Exclamatory sentences: These sentences always end with an exclamation point, but are NOT imperative. These usually show excitement or high emotions. • Some examples: • I can’t wait for my birthday party! • What an adorable puppy! • This is the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen! • You are so irritating!

  6. Simple Sentences *Simple sentences have one subject (the noun part), and one predicate (the verb part). Example: SubjectPredicate The boy auditioned for the show. The students learned about sentences. Axel stole my pillow last night. Cory and I traveled to Santorini, Greece.

  7. Compound Sentences *Compound sentences are made up of more than one simple sentence. Compound sentences usually have coordinators (conjunctions) in between the simple sentences. The coordinators(conjunctions) are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. (Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the coordinators spells FANBOYS.) • Examples: I baked a cake, andthe guests devoured it. You will write a story, andI will read it. My dog is cute, buthe’s not very smart. In Italy I ate pasta,andI visited the Colosseum.

  8. Complex Sentences *Complex sentences are made up of one simple sentence and a second simple sentence that depends on it in order to make sense. Hint: A complex sentence always has a subordinator that tells us the second part relies on the first part (such as because, since, after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, orwhich). Afterthey finished studying, Sarah and Kayla went to the movies.  The students are excited becausethey have a dance today. I am not giving additional homework, since your story is due very soon. This depends on the other part to make sense. This can stand alone as its own idea.
