Explanation:
- In English, punctuation marks are signs or speech marks used to separate different types of sentences.
- The correct, clear and error-free usage of signs such as period(.), question mark(?), exclamatory mark(!), comma(,), quotation marks(" ") etc. adds emphasis and cadence to the written sentences, making writing easier to read, and more engaging.
We can classify sentences based on the message/information they convey as:
- 1. Imperative: Sentences expressing a demand, order, or instruction. They end with a period (.).
- 2. Declarative: Sentences that convey information, state a fact, or declare a statement. They end with a period (.).
- 3. Interrogative: Sentences that pose a question. They end with a question mark (?).
- 4. Exclamatory: Sentences that convey strong emotions or feelings such as shock, excitement, disappointment, etc. Such sentences end with an exclamation mark (!).
