- 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.
