 Types of Sentences

A sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called a declarative or assertive sentence. Its purpose is to relay information, and it is punctuated with a period(FULL STOP). This is the most common sentence type.
Ex: 

 I like ice-cream.;
The wind is blowing from the west.;
He wants to eat cookies

A sentence that asks a question is called an interrogative sentence. These are direct questions, and they are punctuated with a question mark( ? ). Many interrogative sentences start with question words like "how" or "why," but others are yes/no questions that begin with the verb instead of the noun.
Ex: 

Where do you live in California?;
How can I get to this karate teacher? ;
Whose dog is that?

A sentence that expresses a command order or request, in the form of friendly advice, basic instructions is called in imperative sentence. Many imperative sentences end in periods, but some of the more forceful demands may end in an exclamation point ( ! ) to highlight the emotion.

Ex: 

Come to the ball dance with me. ;
Shut the door. ;
Stop bothering me!

A sentence that expresses strong sudden feeling is called an exclamatory sentence. They are easily recognized because they end in an exclamation point ( ! ) instead of a period. The subject of the sentence may be omitted
Ex: 

Wow, she must love scuba diving! ;
How clever he is! ;
What a beautiful flower!
