Choose The Ending

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on teaching the distinction between sentences that require a period and those that need a question mark. It presents a list of seven sentences, each followed by two boxes that represent a period and a question mark. Students must read each sentence and decide which punctuation mark is appropriate to complete the sentence, indicating their choice by checking the corresponding box. The activity combines reading comprehension with an understanding of sentence structure and the function of punctuation marks.

The worksheet educates students on differentiating between statements and questions based on sentence context. It aims to solidify their grasp of how declarative sentences conclude with a period, while interrogative sentences end with a question mark. By analyzing each sentence’s purpose, whether it’s to provide information or to inquire, students apply critical thinking to punctuation. This exercise thereby reinforces their knowledge of syntax and the conventions of written English.
