Pasting Sentences

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed as a punctuation sorting activity where students must determine the correct punctuation for a variety of sentences. The page is divided into two boxes, one with a period and the other with a question mark, each box topped with a cartoon character. Below the boxes are sentences without punctuation, and students are expected to cut out these sentences and paste them into the box with the punctuation mark that fits the sentence’s intent. The activity focuses on differentiating between statements that should end with a period and questions that require a question mark.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to distinguish between declarative and interrogative sentences. By evaluating each sentence, students must decide if it is a statement or a question and then select the appropriate punctuation mark—a period for statements and a question mark for questions. This activity helps to reinforce the concept of sentence structure and the function of punctuation in written communication. Ultimately, students learn to improve the clarity of their writing by correctly ending sentences with the proper punctuation marks.
