EAP 140 PM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 4 4/4

There are four sentence purposes: declarative ,imperative ,interrogative, and exclamatory.  They play different roles in our writing.
When we write these sentences, we want to use declarative sentence to make our statements.  We use imperative sentence to require something.  Interrogative sentence can help us ask question.  Exclamatory sentence can make exclamations.

e.g.
Declarative sentence: I have some classes in this afternoon.
                      I don't like play computer games.
Imperative sentence: Love me,love my dog.
                     Leave me alone,please.
Interrogative sentence: Do you like listening music?
                        Did you see a girl who wear black shoes?
Exclamatory sentence: What a pity!
                      I will come back soon!

Your grammar explanations are not in your own words. Most of them are directly from the Bedford book. Use your own words so I know that you really understand the grammar. 4/10
