This challenging worksheet asks third graders to think carefully about why sentences are built the way they are. Part A offers four multiple-choice items, including spotting "Take out the trash right now" as imperative and identifying "What time is dinner!" as the sentence with wrong end punctuation.
Part B has five fill-in-the-blank questions that label "Hand me the glue, please" as imperative, "Fish breathe through gills" as declarative, and "Whose backpack is on the floor?" as interrogative. Students finish with a sharper sense of how purpose, punctuation, and sentence type fit together.
