key idea

There are four kinds of sentences.

A declarative sentence is a statement and always ends with a period.

The nurse told Mr. Abrams to roll up his sleeve so that she could check his blood pressure.

An imperative sentence makes a request or a demand and usually ends with a period. If a demand shows strong feeling, it can end with an exclamation point.

An interrogative sentence asks a question and always ends with a question mark.

An exclamatory sentence is a statement that shows surprise or strong feeling. An exclamation always ends with an exclamation point.

The sentence makes a demand, so it is an imperative sentence. Here, it ends with a period.
