This medium worksheet helps second graders identify sentence types and choose the right end mark. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank questions about telling sentences, asking sentences, and exclamations, including choosing the missing punctuation. Part B is a matching activity where children pair four sample sentences with the punctuation mark each one needs.
It reinforces the link between sentence meaning and the correct end mark in writing.
