Questions (interrogative sentences): ask for information. They end with a question mark (?).
Where do you go? Does Tina like apples?
Commands (imperative sentence): used to give instruction. They usually end with a full stop (period) but can also end with an exclamation mark (!).
Take me to the beach. Pick an apple for Tina.
Exclamations (exclamatory sentence): express strong emotion. They end with an exclamation mark (!).
