Ending Sentences

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on identifying sentences that express strong feelings which may require an exclamation mark. Students are given a list of sentences and must decide if each statement is made with enough emotion or emphasis to merit an exclamation mark over a period. The worksheet provides checkboxes for students to mark their choice of punctuation for each sentence. Sentences cover a variety of scenarios that could be spoken with strong feeling, such as demands, discoveries, and expressions of pain.

The aim of this worksheet is to teach students how to recognize when to use exclamation marks based on the context and tone of a sentence. It encourages critical thinking about how punctuation affects the reading and interpretation of a statement. By choosing the appropriate punctuation, students learn how exclamation marks can change a sentence’s meaning and emotional impact. This activity not only reinforces grammar skills but also enhances students’ understanding of written expressions of emotion.
