The Difference Between Imperative and Exclamatory Sentences

Understanding Imperative Sentences

Do your work! The sentence above is an example of a/an _______ sentence.

  • a. interrogative
  • b. declarative
  • c. imperative
  • d. exclamatory

Read the following sentence: do your work! The sentence above is an example of a/an _______ sentence.

That's tricky because it is both a command (imperative) and an exclamatory sentence. I say pick c because the exclamation could just be for emphasis, but it is definitely not excitement, it is a command. Final answer: An imperative sentence gives a command or instruction, often with an implied 'you', and can end with a period or exclamation point.
