About these types of sentences worksheets

There are four types of sentences: a statement tells, a question asks, a command tells someone to do something, and an exclamation shows strong feeling. The lesson uses those plain names and gives the formal ones (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory) underneath.

Students label sentences, add end marks, turn statements into questions and write one sentence of each kind.
