Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

🔹 Understanding the Instructions:
We are to identify two types of sentences:
-
Imperative sentences → These give commands or instructions. They
may not have a subject (e.g., "Leave your shoes here." — no subject, but it’s a command).
-
Exclamatory sentences → These express strong emotion and
end with an exclamation mark (!). They
must have a subject.
We are to:
-
Bubble in red for
imperative sentences
-
Bubble in green for
exclamatory sentences
