Kinds of Sentences

Sentences are of four kinds:-
1)   Those which make statements or assertions; as, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
2)   Those which ask questions; as, Where do you live?
3)   Those which express commands, requests, or entreaties; as, Be quiet.
4)   Those which express strong feelings; as, How cold the night is!, What a shame, etc.
A sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called a DECLARATIVE or ASSERTIVE sentence.
A sentence that asks a question is called an INTERROGATIVE sentence.
A sentence that expresses a command or an entreaty is called an IMPERATIVE sentence.
A sentence that expresses strong feeling is called an EXCLAMATORY sentence.
