Worksheet Description

This Commands worksheet is designed to practice converting declarative sentences into imperative sentences, which are used for giving commands. The instructions direct students to rewrite statements as commands and to underline the verbs that correspond to the action being commanded, which aligns with the concept that the “you” in commands is understood rather than explicitly stated. The sentences provided cover everyday activities, such as watering plants and polishing furniture. The worksheet uses a simple and direct approach to reinforce the grammatical structure of commands.

The worksheet is teaching students the syntactic shift required to turn statements into commands, a foundational skill in English grammar. It emphasizes understanding the role of the implied subject “you” in imperative sentences. By underlining the verbs, students also focus on the action part of the command, which aids in identifying the core of the imperative form. This activity helps students become more adept at using direct, action-oriented language, which is a critical component in giving instructions and making requests.
