Excerpt
A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. There are four types:
1. Declarative sentences or Statements tell us something or state a fact. Most of the sentences we speak, read or write are declarative sentences. A declarative sentence always ends with a period.
? The Hoover Dam provides drinking water for several states.
2. Interrogative sentences ask a question. They usually begin with an asking word such as who, what, when, where and why, and they end with a question mark.
