Steps to identify the types of sentences 
1. Look at the sentence carefully.
2. Identify if it's Declarative, imperative,
Interrogative, or Exclamatory.

   1. Declarative: To make statements.
        Example: The echo always has the last
word.

2. Imperative: To issue requests or commands.
        Example: Get me a snack!

3.
Exclamatory: When someone says something
with excitement.
        Example: That is so cool!


4. Interrogative: When someone asks a question.
        Example: What color is your eyes?

Steps to identify clauses
1. There are two types of clauses.
2. Identify if the clause is dependent or
independent.

1. Independent Clause: Can stand alone
( it is a complete thought.) (IC)

2. Dependent Clause: Cannot stand alone;
needs more information to make sense (not
a complete thought.) (DC)

3. Clause: A subject (or subjects) and the predicate
(or predicates) that go with it.

Steps to identify
1. Go through the sentence.
2. Once you get an idea of what type of sentence it is
then you examine it.

1. Simple: One Independent Clause.
    Example: Courtney went to the store.

2. Compound: Two Independent Clause.
    Example: Anna did her homework, and Clint went
skateboarding after school.

3. Complex: One Independent Clause and One
Dependent Clause.
    Example: After Hannah watched the movie, she went
outside.

4. Compound/Complex: Two Independent Clauses and
one Dependent Clause.
    Example: Nick worked on his short story, and Kevin
finished his T-shirt while Jacob edited his dialogue.
