Study the different kinds of sentences below which were taken from lines in the epic The Adarna Bird. Can you tell the difference among these sentences?

They beat me until my bones were broken.

Why do you feel sad, Adarna bird?

They are liars, O King!

Bring him in.

When people form sentences, they do many things: ask questions, make requests, make statements, or they exclaim a powerful feeling or emotion. Because sentences convey statements, requests, strong emotions, and questions, they can be categorized into four different kinds.

Kinds	Purpose	Example	Punctuation
Declarative	stating or telling	They beat me until my bones were broken.	Period
Interrogative	asking a question	Why do you feel sad, Adarna bird?	Question mark
Exclamatory	showing strong feeling	They are liars, O King!	Exclamation mark
Imperative	giving a command (The subject of an imperative sentence [you] is understood.)	Bring him in.	Period or exclamation mark
