Do Commands Have Exclamation Marks?

Children will be taught the difference between a statement, a question, a command and an exclamation, and how to punctuate them. A command ends in a full stop or an exclamation mark.

Does a command sentence need an exclamation mark?

An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period but can, under certain circumstances, end with an exclamation point. Examples of this sentence type: “Please sit down.”

Which punctuation mark is used for command?

A period can also be used to end an imperative sentence, i.e., a sentence that gives a command. Go down the stairs and turn right. A question mark indicates a question, or occasionally, a statement of surprise or disbelief: Is it five o'clock yet?
