How do you identify the different types of sentences?

To identify the type of sentence, you can use the following steps:

Identify the subject and verb. The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. The verb is the action that the subject is doing or being.

Determine if the sentence has any dependent clauses. A dependent clause is a group of words that does not express a complete thought and cannot stand on its own as a sentence. Dependent clauses are usually introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as "although," "because," "if," "since," "when," "where," and "while."
