IV. Read the sentences carefully, put in the punctuations, and write A for assertive, I for imperative, In for interrogative, and Ex for exclamatory sentences at the end of each sentence.
1. Have you ever been to Kashmir?
2. What a beautiful place Kashmir is!
Answer (1)
To determine the punctuation and type of each given sentence, we need to carefully analyze the structure and intent of each sentence.
Sentence: Have you ever been to Kashmir?
Punctuation: This sentence is a question, so it should end with a question mark.
Type: Since it is asking for information, it is an interrogative sentence.
Corrected Sentence: Have you ever been to Kashmir? (In)
Sentence: What a beautiful place Kashmir is!
Punctuation: This sentence expresses a strong feeling or emotion, so it should end with an exclamation mark.
Type: Because it expresses strong emotion and emphasis, it is an exclamatory sentence.
Corrected Sentence: What a beautiful place Kashmir is! (Ex)
These exercises help in understanding the different sentence types in English:
Assertive (As): A declarative sentence that makes a statement.
Imperative (Im): A command or a request.
Interrogative (In): A question that seeks information.
Exclamatory (Ex): Shows strong emotion or emphasis.
