Types of sentences

Would this be imperative or exclamatory?

Do your work!

I know "Do your work." would be imperative. What is more important, what the sentence says or the end mark?

Hi, Do your work ! The exclamation mark adds more emphasis, more strength. Do your work .

Imperative. The grammatical term "exclamatory sentence" has nothing to do with the punctuation. It has to do with the grammatical structure.

What big eyes you have is exclamatory.

How strange he looks is exclamatory.
