Looking at our answer choices, there are four types of sentences:

1. A d eclarative sentence is a sentence that tells the reader about something, and it will always end with a period.
2. An imperative sentence is a sentence that is a command, it tells someone to do something. This type of sentence will end in either a period or an exclamation point.
3. An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks something, it's a question. This type of sentence will always end with a question mark.
4. An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that shows excitement, surprise, or a strong emotion. This type of sentence will always end with an exclamation point.

Let's look at the sentence from the question:

When I got to school today, I realized that I had forgotten to complete all of my homework.

This sentence is telling us something, it's telling us that a family went camping. A sentence that tells the reader about something is a declarative sentence.
