What punctuation is used in an imperative sentence?
Either an exclamation point or a period is used, depending on the context of the command or suggestion.
For a command, an exclamation point (!) may be used. However, a period can apply as well. This choice signifies the strength of a command and generally corresponds to the speaker's attitude. If "please" is used, an exclamation point may be too harsh, but not always:
Examples:
Clean up this room!
Please clean up this room.
Please leave me alone!
For other forms of the imperative (suggestions, instructions), a period is the usual choice.
"Stop at the school to get your new book."
"Take a left turn at the second intersection."
"To get a good grade, study your material."
The exclamation mark is used as the marker for imperatives in some examples, mainly as a visual indicator of the mood, which is otherwise unmarked in English.
A question mark would be confusing and in most cases incorrect. (Imperatives and uncertainty rarely go together, though in theory one could say "Clean up this room?" if they aren't sure about actually giving such an order. Better interrogative versions would be "Are you going to clean up this room?" or "Should I clean up this room?")
What should you do first when you examine capitalization and punctuation?
Check first for end of sentence punctuation. Next, read each sentence out loud; notice when you pause to breathe. Check for commas at every pause; determine if a comma is needed or not. Look for clauses that need a comma after them. Do the same for lists. Lastly, slowly read each sentence to double check your use of capitalization. If in doubt, check a style handbook or your textbook.
