Educational worksheet teaching types of sentences with fun illustrations and interactive exercises.

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

---

First, we need to understand the four types of sentences:

- Statement (S) – tells something. Ends with a period (.).
Example: “I like apples.”

- Question (Q) – asks something. Ends with a question mark (?).
Example: “Do you like apples?”

- Command (C) – tells someone to do something. Often ends with a period or exclamation mark.
Example: “Sit down.” or “Stop!”

- Exclamation (E) – shows strong feeling. Ends with an exclamation mark (!).
Example: “Wow! That’s amazing!”

---

Now let’s look at the first part:
“Put the correct punctuation after each of the following sentences”

We’ll go one by one and decide what punctuation fits best.

1. *I come to school every day* → This is telling us something → Statement → add .
2. *Be quiet* → Telling someone to do something → Command → can use . or ! — but since it’s not shouting, let’s use .
3. *What a nice dress* → Showing excitement → Exclamation → add !
4. *Where is your sister* → Asking a question → Question → add ?
5. *How may pens do you have* → Also asking → Question → add ?
6. *The desert is dry* → Telling a fact → Statement → add .
7. *Don’t play with your pen* → Telling someone not to do something → Command → add .
8. *This tree is very big* → Could be just stating… but if they’re surprised, maybe ! — but no context, so safest is .
*(Note: In some cases, “very big” might suggest surprise, but unless told otherwise, treat as statement.)*

Wait — let’s double-check #8. The sentence says “This tree is very big.” If it’s just describing, it’s a statement. But sometimes in worksheets, “very” hints at emotion. However, looking at the speech bubble in the image, it shows ? / . / ! — meaning those are the only options. And for consistency, unless it clearly expresses shock or joy, we’ll stick with period.

But actually — let’s re-read the instructions. It says “put the correct punctuation”. So we must choose based on meaning.

Looking again:

- “What a nice dress” → definitely exclamation → !
- “Where is your sister” → question → ?
- “How many pens...” → question → ? (also note: typo — should be “many”, not “may”)
- “Be quiet” → command → . (or !, but usually . unless urgent)
- “Don’t play...” → command → .
- “I come to school...” → statement → .
- “The desert is dry” → statement → .
- “This tree is very big” → could be either, but since no emotional words like “amazing” or “wow”, probably statement → .

BUT — wait! Let’s check common usage in such worksheets. Sometimes “very + adjective” is treated as exclamatory if it implies surprise. However, without more context, safest is period.

Actually — let me think differently. Look at the second section: “What is the type of each sentence?” — that will help us confirm our logic.

In the second section:

- “Don’t play with fire.” → Command → [ C ]
- “What time is it?” → Question → [ Q ]
- “You lost your book again!” → Exclamation → [ E ] ← here, “again!” suggests frustration → so !
- “Put your bag on the ground.” → Command → [ C ]
- “She speaks French.” → Statement → [ S ]

So in the first part, when we see similar structures, we can match.

Back to first part:

Sentence 3: “What a nice dress” → same structure as “You lost your book again!” → both express emotion → so !

Sentence 8: “This tree is very big” — compared to “She speaks French.” — both are factual? Not really — “very big” might imply awe. But in absence of clear emotion, perhaps still period.

However, let’s consider standard grammar rules:

- Sentences starting with “What a...” are almost always exclamations → so !
- Sentences that are commands often end with . unless emphatic
- Questions always get ?
- Statements get .

So final decisions for punctuation:

1. I come to school every day. → .
2. Be quiet. → . (command, calm tone)
3. What a nice dress! → !
4. Where is your sister? → ?
5. How many pens do you have? → ? (correcting “may” to “many” mentally)
6. The desert is dry. → .
7. Don’t play with your pen. → . (command)
8. This tree is very big. → . (unless specified otherwise)

Wait — but in many elementary worksheets, “This tree is very big!” is accepted as exclamation because of “very”. Let me check online examples...

Actually, upon reflection — in the context of this worksheet, since they included “!” as an option and gave “What a nice dress” which is clearly exclamatory, and “This tree is very big” might be intended to be exclamatory too — but I think it's safer to go with period unless there's an emotional cue.

Alternatively, let’s count how many of each punctuation we expect.

There are 8 sentences.

Likely distribution:

- Questions: 2 (#4, #5)
- Exclamations: 2 (#3, and maybe #8?)
- Commands: 2 (#2, #7)
- Statements: 2 (#1, #6) — then #8 would be third statement? Or exclamation?

Hmm.

Another approach: look at the answer key pattern from similar worksheets.

Typically:

- “Be quiet.” → command → .
- “What a nice dress!” → exclamation → !
- “Where is your sister?” → question → ?
- “How many pens...” → question → ?
- “Don’t play...” → command → .
- “I come...” → statement → .
- “The desert is dry.” → statement → .
- “This tree is very big.” → statement → . OR if emphasized, !

But since the worksheet has a speech bubble showing ? / . / ! — and doesn't specify emphasis, I think we should go with literal meaning.

Final decision for punctuation:

1. .
2. .
3. !
4. ?
5. ?
6. .
7. .
8. .

Now second part: “What is the type of each sentence?”

Given sentences:

- Don’t play with fire. → Command → C
- What time is it? → Question → Q
- You lost your book again! → Exclamation → E (because of “again!” implying emotion)
- Put your bag on the ground. → Command → C
- She speaks French. → Statement → S

That seems straightforward.

So now compiling answers.

For first section (punctuation):

- I come to school every day. → .
- Be quiet. → .
- What a nice dress! → !
- Where is your sister? → ?
- How many pens do you have? → ? (assuming "may" is typo for "many")
- The desert is dry. → .
- Don’t play with your pen. → .
- This tree is very big. → .

For second section (type):

- Don’t play with fire. → [ C ]
- What time is it? → [ Q ]
- You lost your book again! → [ E ]
- Put your bag on the ground. → [ C ]
- She speaks French. → [ S ]

I think that’s consistent.

One last check: in the first section, sentence 5 says “How may pens...” — that’s likely a typo, should be “many”. We’ll assume that and treat as question.

Also, for sentence 8, if the teacher expects “!” because of “very”, but I think in standard classification, it’s still a statement unless punctuated with ! originally. Since we’re adding punctuation, and no emotional indicator beyond “very”, I’ll keep it as period.

Okay, ready to write final answer.

Final Answer:

Part 1: Add correct punctuation

Part 2: Identify sentence type
