Declarative Or Imperative?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet titled “Statement or Command?” provides a list of sentences that students must categorize as either a statement (declarative sentence) or a command (imperative sentence). The sentences vary in content, some expressing an action to be performed and others stating a fact or opinion. Students are instructed to circle the correct classification for each sentence, determining the sentence’s purpose and function.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the difference between statements that declare information and commands that give instructions. By categorizing the sentences, students practice recognizing the structure and intent of different sentence types. This activity helps them to understand how to form and identify commands, a fundamental aspect of grammar and effective communication. It also reinforces the concept that sentences can serve various functions depending on their construction and the context in which they are used.
