About these types of sentences worksheets

There are four types of sentences, and each has its own job and end mark. A statement tells something and ends with a period. A question asks something and ends with a question mark. A command tells someone to do something and usually ends with a period. An exclamation shows strong feeling and ends with an exclamation point.

These types of sentences worksheets start with a chart of all four. Practice pages show sentences without their end marks, so children must decide the type from the words: name the type, add the end mark, fix wrong end marks, and sort sentences (cut and paste or write). Writing pages ask children to turn statements into questions and write one sentence of each type. Every page with right answers has an answer key.

How to use them

  1. Start with the chart and say one sentence of each type out loud.
  2. Do name the type next. Read each sentence with expression to hear its job.
  3. Use the end mark pages and the sort.
  4. Finish with the writing pages.

Teaching tips

  • Questions often start with who, what, where, when, why, how, can, do, or is.
  • Commands often start with a verb: close, put, please feed.
  • Use exclamation points only for strong feelings.
  • "Can you find my mitten" is a question, even though it sounds polite.
