Is the sentence declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory? Set 2

Learning Objectives Correctly identify the four types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory) in a mixed-set of examples. Analyze a sentence's purpose (to state, question, command, or exclaim) to determine its type.

Distinguish between a strong statement (declarative) and a true exclamation (exclamatory). Rewrite a sentence, changing it from one type to another (e.g., declarative to interrogative).

The 'Understood You' Rule for Imperative Sentences If a sentence gives a command but seems to be missing a subject, the subject is 'you'. Commands and requests are directed at someone. Even if the word 'you' isn't there, the sentence is imperative. For example, in 'Be quiet,' the sentence is commanding 'you' to be quiet. The Emotion vs. Fact Rule A declarative sentence states a fact, even a strong one. An exclam...
