Let's solve the worksheet titled
"Name That Sentence!" step by step.

Part 1: Identify the sentence type (declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory)
We are given 10 sentences and need to classify each one.
####
Definitions:
-
Declarative: Makes a statement. Ends with a period.
-
Imperative: Gives a command or request. Often ends with a period.
-
Interrogative: Asks a question. Ends with a question mark.
-
Exclamatory: Expresses strong emotion. Ends with an exclamation point.

Now let’s go through each sentence:
1.
Please turn in your library book by tomorrow.
→ This is a
request, so it's an
imperative sentence.
2.
What books did you read over the summer?
→ This is a
question, so it's
interrogative.
3.
I love my new dress!
→ This expresses
excitement, so it's
exclamatory.
4.
When I grow up, I want to be a doctor.
→ This is a
statement, so it's
declarative.
5.
Is your brother picking you up from school?
→ This is a
question, so it's
interrogative.
6.
My dog Fido loves chasing cars.
→ This is a
statement, so it's
declarative.
7.
It's time for recess!
→ This expresses
excitement or urgency, so it's
exclamatory.
8.
Be careful with those scissors.
→ This is a
warning/command, so it's
imperative.
9.
I wonder if the baseball game can be canceled.
→ This is a
thought or statement, not a question, so it's
declarative.
10.

command, so it's
