Master Sentence Types: Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, Exclamatory for Class 6

This Grade 6 worksheet introduces learners to the four main types of sentences—*declarative*, *interrogative*, *imperative*, and *exclamatory*. With focused exercises on identification, punctuation, sentence transformation, and original sentence creation, students improve their understanding of sentence purpose and structure.

Why Types of Sentences Matter in Grammar?

Recognizing sentence types strengthens comprehension and communication. For Grade 6 learners, this is important because:

1. Each sentence type has a unique function: to state, ask, command, or express.

2. It supports punctuation and clarity in writing.

3. It improves reading comprehension and sentence variation.

4. It builds confidence in formal writing, dialogue, and storytelling.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes four structured activities focused on identifying, correcting, and forming various sentence types:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Identify the Sentence Type

Students read 10 sentences and classify each as *declarative*, *interrogative*, *imperative*, or *exclamatory*. Example: “Wow! What a clever idea!” = Exclamatory.

✏️ Exercise 2 – Add Punctuation and Label

Students add correct punctuation to 10 sentences and label their type (e.g., adding a question mark and labeling as interrogative).

📋 Exercise 3 – Change the Sentence Type

Students transform 10 sentences as directed—such as converting a declarative sentence into interrogative or exclamatory form.

🎨 Exercise 4 – Sentence Formation

Learners create one original sentence for each of the four types: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory
