Explanation:
- An imperative sentence contains an imperative word which can be an adjective or a noun and an imperative mood verb.
- It conveys the state of the mood verb like command, request, order, forbiddance, invite, instruct or advice.
- The imperatives are used in a sentence to denote something that is essential, urgent, necessary, or important and also to influence the action of another person.
- The subject of the sentence is mostly hidden and the second person remains the subject.
- An exclamatory sentence conveys strong emotions, an excited feeling, expresses a declarative sentence forcefully, and ends with an exclamatory (!) punctuation mark.
- Different emotions like surprise, love, anger, shock, sorrow, etc can be expressed in an exclamatory sentence .
