This Grade 6 English worksheet gives students focused practice identifying four types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. The first four multiple-choice questions ask students to classify sentences such as commands, statements, questions, and expressive sentences by type. The final three multiple-choice questions shift to end punctuation, asking students to choose the correct mark for a question, an exclamatory sentence, and a declarative sentence. This format helps students connect sentence meaning and purpose with accurate punctuation choices. It works well for independent practice, a quick formative assessment, or review after direct instruction. The worksheet is free to print and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

FAQs
What does this worksheet cover?
This Grade 6 English worksheet uses seven multiple-choice questions to practise identifying declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences, then selecting the correct end punctuation. Students apply sentence meaning and purpose to classify examples such as “Clean your room” and “Will you go to the Halloween dance with me?” before choosing question marks, exclamation points, or periods for three additional sentences.
How can I use this worksheet to teach the four types of sentences?
Introduce the four sentence types with short examples, then have students explain what each sentence is doing before selecting an answer. Use the worksheet’s first four classification items for guided practice, asking students to justify each choice, and finish with the three end-punctuation questions to connect sentence purpose to punctuation.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this sentence-types worksheet?
Students may confuse an imperative with a declarative sentence because both can end with a period; ask them to check whether the sentence gives a command rather than simply stating information. They may also select punctuation based only on the sentence’s wording or length, so have them identify whether each item is asking a question, expressing strong feeling, or making a statement before choosing ?, !, or .

Wayground provides this sentence-types worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all seven multiple-choice questions.

How does this worksheet connect sentence types with end punctuation?
The worksheet first asks students to identify sentence type and then asks them to choose the appropriate ending mark for a question, an exclamatory sentence, and a declarative sentence. Completing both sections helps students move from recognizing a sentence’s purpose to applying punctuation in context.
