Which sentence type makes a statement and ends with a period?

• A. Declarative sentence
• B. Interrogative sentence
• C. Exclamatory sentence
• D. Imperative sentence

Answer: (A)

Different sentence types use different ending marks to show how they function. A declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and ends with a period. For example: The rain is falling. An interrogative asks a question and ends with a question mark. An exclamatory expresses strong emotion and ends with an exclamation point. An imperative gives a command or request and usually ends with a period, though it can end with an exclamation mark in stronger tone. Since the requirement is to make a statement and end with a period, the sentence type described is declarative.
