What children learn in Level 4
- Sentences come in four kinds. A telling sentence tells something. It ends with a period.
- An asking sentence asks a question. It ends with a question mark.
- A command tells someone to do something.
- An exclamation shows strong feeling, like surprise or excitement. It ends with an exclamation mark!
- Grown-ups call them declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences. Big words for telling, asking, commanding, and exclaiming!
