Step-by-step solution for: Types of Sentences online exercise for Grade 6
Here's the completed worksheet with explanations for each sentence:
---
1. _Interrogative_ If God is for me, who can be against me _?_
✔ Explanation: This is a rhetorical question — it’s phrased as a question to make a point rather than to seek an answer. All questions, even rhetorical ones, are classified as interrogative sentences and end with a question mark (?).
---
2. _Exclamatory_ What worlds of wonder are our books _!_
✔ Explanation: Although it starts with “What,” this sentence expresses strong emotion or admiration — it’s not asking for information but exclaiming about the wonder of books. So, it’s exclamatory, ending with an exclamation mark (!).
> 💡 Note: Sometimes “What...” or “How...” sentences can be exclamatory if they express emotion, not inquiry.
---
3. _Declarative_ The only way to have a friend is to be one _._
✔ Explanation: This sentence makes a statement or gives information. It declares a truth or belief. All such sentences are declarative and end with a period (.).
---
4. _Imperative_ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile _._
✔ Explanation: This is a command or instruction — telling someone what to do (“Keep thy tongue...”). That makes it an imperative sentence. Imperatives usually end with a period (.), unless they’re very forceful (then sometimes !). Here, it’s calm advice, so period is appropriate.
---
5. _Declarative_ There is no substitute for hard work _._
✔ Explanation: This is a straightforward statement of fact or opinion. It declares something true. Therefore, it’s declarative, ending with a period (.).
---
6. _Exclamatory_ Wow ___ the rain is beautiful _!_
✔ Explanation: “Wow” is an interjection expressing surprise or delight. The whole sentence expresses admiration for the rain. Even though it has a subject and verb, its purpose is to show emotion → exclamatory. Ends with exclamation mark (!).
> 📝 Note: There’s a blank after “Wow” — you can optionally add a comma for clarity: “Wow, the rain is beautiful!” But since the worksheet doesn’t require adding punctuation *within* the sentence, just the end punctuation matters here.
---
7. _Interrogative_ May I go to lunch with my friend tomorrow please _?_
✔ Explanation: This is a polite request phrased as a question. Any sentence that asks for permission or information is interrogative. Ends with a question mark (?).
---
8. _Declarative_ I’ve decided to be better person, and live a life of service _._
✔ Explanation: This sentence states a personal decision or fact — it’s making a declaration. So, it’s declarative and ends with a period (.).
> ⚠️ Small grammar note: It should technically say “a better person” — but since we’re only identifying sentence type and punctuation, we don’t correct the grammar unless asked.
