6. Let’s Practice!
Let’s see if you can identify some different types of sentences.

7. What type of sentence? Im = imperative E = exclamatory
In = interrogative D = declarative
Organize your desk
Im .
On your white board, write the letter or letters for the type of sentence. Also write the correct ending punctuation mark.
Here is your first one…*
Show me what you think.
This sentence tells someone to do something so it is * imperative and should end with a period.
(do the rest in the same manner)

8. What type of sentence? Im = imperative E = exclamatory
