A declarative sentence simply states a fact, conveys information or offers an explanation about something. For example: I saw Emily at the park yesterday.

An interrogative sentence expresses a question and is punctuated with a question mark at the end. For example: Are you serious?

An imperative sentence expresses an order, a command, a request, or even a suggestion. For example: Don't call him again.

An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong emotion or emphasizes something. It is punctuated with an exclamation mark at the end. For example: Oh, that's beautiful!
