There are four kinds of sentences:
DECLARATIVE - A declarative sentence is a statement that ends with a
period.
EXAMPLE: The bird landed on the roof.
INTERROGATIVE - An interrogative sentence is a question and so it
ends with a question mark.
EXAMPLE: Can we eat our vegetables now?
IMPERATIVE - An imperative sentence directs someone to do something.
It can end with a period or an exclamation mark.
EXAMPLE: Wipe your feet.
EXCLAMATORY - An exclamatory sentence expresses a strong feeling and
it ends with an exclamation mark.
EXAMPLE: That really stinks!
Suffix: -y and -ly
The suffix -y most often means "like" or "full of." Keep in mind that words that end with e drop the e before adding -y. Also words which end with a vowel followed by a consonant require that the consonant be doubled before adding -y. Here are some examples.
full of smell smell + y smelly
like a bush bush + y bushy
full of mud mud + y muddy
The suffix -ly most often means "in the manner of." Here are some examples.
slow + ly slowly
quick + ly quickly
slick + ly slickly
generous + ly qenerously
