2. Interrogative Sentences: These sentences ask a question and end with a question mark. Example: "What time is the meeting?"
3. Imperative Sentences: These sentences give a command or make a request. They can end with a period or an exclamation mark, depending on the tone. Example: "Please pass the salt."
4. Exclamatory Sentences: These sentences express strong emotion or excitement and end with an exclamation mark. Example: "What a beautiful day it is!"
