The 4 Types of Sentences Test is a Grade 3 English worksheet that helps students distinguish among interrogative (question), imperative (command), declarative (statement), and exclamatory (exclamation) sentences. Its 10 multiple-choice questions ask students to classify complete sentences and select the example that matches a named sentence type, using everyday contexts such as school, sports, animals, and nature. This free printable worksheet gives students focused practice recognizing sentence purpose from wording and context, including commands that do not begin with an obvious action verb and exclamations that express strong feeling. Use it as independent practice, a quick assessment, or a review after teaching the four sentence types. A complete answer key is included so teachers can check understanding efficiently.

This worksheet helps Grade 3 students identify interrogative, imperative, declarative, and exclamatory sentences. Across 10 multiple-choice items, students classify sentences such as questions, commands, statements, and strong exclamations, then select an example that matches a named type.
Introduce the four sentence types by having students discuss what each example is doing: asking, directing, stating information, or expressing strong feeling. Then work through a few items aloud, such as identifying “Wash your hands before dinner” as a command, before assigning the remaining multiple-choice questions for independent practice and review.
Students may confuse a command with an exclamation when a sentence includes an exclamation mark, as in “Watch out for the ball!” They may also miss commands that begin with a verb, such as “Look at the fluffy clouds,” or mistake a sentence that expresses strong feeling for a declarative statement.
