Statements end with a period.
Statements are also called ASSERTIVE SENTENCES.
Or DECLARATIVE SENTENCES.
Or ASSERTIONS.
The second one is a QUESTION.
Questions are also called INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES.
They end with a question mark.
The third one is an EXCLAMATION or an EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE.
Exclamatory sentences end with an exclamation mark.
