Answering Prompts

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students learn how to formulate commands from given statements. Each prompt provides a statement of desire or need, such as wanting a snack or needing a towel, and the students’ task is to convert these statements into direct commands, following the example provided. The example shows how to transform the statement “You want a lollipop.” into the command “Give me a lollipop.” The worksheet has a series of similar prompts that require the student to create appropriate imperatives.

The worksheet aims to teach students the imperative mood, which is used for giving orders, making requests, or offering invitations. By converting statements into commands, students practice using direct language and understand the implicit “you” in imperatives. This exercise enhances their ability to give clear instructions and to express their needs or desires effectively. It also helps students to grasp the tone and structure of command sentences, which are essential components of everyday communication.
