In additional to the ones above (declarative(.), imperative(!), interrogative(?)) there are also compound and complex sentences.
A compound sentence is two sentences smushed into one with a 'but', 'and', 'or', or something of that sort. Ex: 'Do you like puppies, or do you hate them?' See, two separate sentences combined into one. Both 'Do you like puppies?' and 'Do you hate them?' are complete sentences all on their own.
Complex sentences have a main clause and then another part of the sentence which is dependent on the main clause for context. These two pieces are connected by a word like 'when', 'since', or 'as long as'. Ex: I bought a puppy because I don't like kittens. 'Because I don't like kittens' is dependent on the other half of the sentence, 'I bought a puppy'.

Declarative, imperative and interrogatory are the only ones that come to mind.
declarative: I gave Mary the book.
imperative: Give Mary the book!
interrogatory: Did you give Mary the book?
One gives a statement, two gives a command and three asks a question. Hope this helps.

Don't know the form you mean, but:
Declarative--make a statement, end in a period.
I am hungry.
Interrogative--ask a question.
Are you hungry.
Exclamatory--exclaim, show emotion.
Wow, I could eat a bear!
