Imperative and Exclamatory Sentences

An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. It usually begins with a verb and ends with a period. The subject (you) is not shown. An exclamatory sentence shows strong feeling or surprise. It ends with an exclamation mark. An interjection also shows strong feeling and ends with an exclamation mark. An interjection is a word or group of words, not a complete sentence. Imperative Sentence Interjections Lie down and stay. Wow! Ouch! Hurray! Oh, no! Exclamatory Sentences That is a gorgeous dog! What big paws he has!
Directions Read each sentence. Write C if the end punctuation is correct. Write NC if the end punctuation is not correct. 1. Show me your book about Lewis and Clark. 2. What an incredible journey they took. 3. Please read me the paper you wrote about their expedition! 4. That dog was amazing! 5. I cant believe the number of squirrels it caught. Directions Write a word or phrase that will make these sentences the kind named in ( ). 6. 7. 8.
