          Examples:  Tomorrow is a holiday.

An interrogative sentence asks a question.  It ends with a question      mark (?).

          Examples:  Where did you go?

                             Which book are you reading?

Kind- 3:  Imperative Sentence

          An imperative sentence requests, instructs, or orders.  It usually ends with a full stop (.). When an imperative sentence shows strong feeling, it ends with an exclamation point (!).

          Examples: Get out of here!

                          Open the front door.

Kind – 4: Exclamatory Sentence:
