A teacher was teaching types of sentences. She asked Scott to give an example of an interrogative sentence. Scott rubbed his eyes and asked, “Teacher, what did you want me to do?”
The teacher said, “Right. Please give an exclamatory sentence.”

The teacher said, “Very good. Please say a declarative sentence.”
