Does anyone know why I am receiving this error?

CODE
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    string str;
    int count=0, i;

    cout << "Enter some sentences: ";
    getline(cin,str);
    

    int countSentences(string str) \\This is line receiving error!
    {
        
        for(i=0;i<str.length();i++)
        {
            if(str.at(i)=='.'||str.at(i)=='?'||str.at(i)=='!')
                count++;
        }

    return count;
}

You have defined your function countSentences inside the main function. Move the definition so that it is external to the main function, and simply call if from the main function. Also, you've not closed your main function.

I moved it up and now I have a whole list of errors.

CODE
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int countSentences(string str);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    string str;
    int count=0, i;

    cout << "Enter some sentences: ";
    getline(cin,str);
    
    
            
        for(i=0;i<str.length();i++)
        {
            if(str.at(i)=='.'||str.at(i)=='?'||str.at(i)=='!')
                count++;
        }
    }

    return count;
}

That is because you simply moved the declaration, not the definition, and also now have the added trouble of extra braces within your code.
CODE

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int countSentences(string str);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    string str;
    int count=0, i;

    cout << "Enter some sentences: ";
    getline(cin,str);
    cout<<countSentences(str)<<endl;
    return 0;
}

int countSentences(string str)
{
        for(i=0;i<str.length();i++)
        {
            if(str.at(i)=='.'||str.at(i)=='?'||str.at(i)=='!')
                count++;
        }
   return count;
}
