Four Sentence Types

[Verse 1]
A sentence shares a thought we want to say,
Its words line up in just the right way.
Start with a capital, give the end a sign,
Four kinds of sentences make language shine.

[Chorus]
Tell it, ask it, shout it, command,
Four sentence types are close at hand!
Statement, question, exclamation, command,
Now you can spot them, understand!

[Verse 2]
“The class is ready.” tells what is true,
That’s a statement sharing news with you.
“Are we reading?” asks to know,
A question mark tells where questions go.

[Chorus]
Tell it, ask it, shout it, command,
Four sentence types are close at hand!
Statement, question, exclamation, command,
Now you can spot them, understand!

[Verse 3]
“What a bright, brilliant rainbow!” we cheer,
An exclamation shows strong feeling here.
“Please pass the crayons.” tells what to do,
That’s a command, polite and clear too.

[Bridge]
A period can end a statement just right,
A question mark asks, “What’s in sight?”
An exclamation mark brings feeling to show,
A command gives directions where we should go.

[Final Chorus]
Tell it, ask it, shout it, command,
Four sentence types are close at hand!
Statement, question, exclamation, command,
Read, write, and say them—now you understand!

[Outro]
Tell it, ask it, shout it, command,
Four sentence types—now you understand!
