Statements, Questions, Commands and Exclamations
Statements
A statement gives information or tells us something. It usually ends with a full stop (. ).
Examples:
- The dog is sleeping.
- Sarah went to the library.
- The Earth travels around the Sun.
Remember: A statement tells us something.
Questions
A question asks something. It ends with a question mark (?).
Examples:
- Where is my pencil?
- Have you finished your homework?
- Why are the clouds so dark?
Remember: A question asks us something.
Commands
A command tells someone to do something. It often starts with an imperative verb (a bossy doing word).
Examples:
- Close the door.
- Put your books on the table.
- Carefully cross the road.
Remember: A command tells someone what to do.
Exclamations
An exclamation expresses strong emotion or surprise. In Year 6 grammar, a true exclamation sentence usually begins with what or how and ends with an exclamation mark (!).
Examples:
- What an enormous cake it was!

- What a fantastic goal he scored!
Remember: An exclamation shows strong feeling or emotion.
