Lets Begin

Today you will be learning about different kinds of punctuation and the types of sentences that can go along with that punctuation.

I will provide examples for each type to help you for the end quiz.

Types of Punctuation

• There are many different kinds of punctuation marks we put at the end of sentences.

• We are going to focus on 3 types this lesson:

Periods Question Marks Exclamation marks

Where do I use periods?

• Periods are placed at the end of declarative and imperative sentences.

• A declarative sentence tells a fact or an argument.

• An imperative sentence is a command or a simple polite request

Examples of declarative sentences

• The dog is over in the bedroom.• We ate lunch today.• The Jones family went on

vacation last year.• Ohio is a state.

Examples of imperative sentences

• Please bring me my coat.• Let the dog out please.• Thank you for the food.

Where do I use question marks

• Question marks are at the end of interrogative sentences.

• We place them at the end of sentence when asking questions.

• That’s why we call it a question mark.• Hint: You tend to see words such as who,

what, when, where, and why at the

beginning of these sentences.

Examples of interrogative sentences

• Where did I put my pencil?• Did you find your dog?• Who took the last cookie?• What was that?

Where do I use exclaimation points?

• Exclamation points are used to show emphasis, emotion, or excitement at the end of the sentence.

Examples of an exclamatory sentence

• Wow that went far!• What did you do that for!• Hey stop it!
