Step-by-step solution for: Sentence Types Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
You're right — the worksheet asks you to rewrite each sentence so that it becomes the type of sentence indicated in parentheses.
Let’s go through each one and explain the correction:
---
➡️ Interrogative sentences ask questions — they usually end with a question mark and often start with a helping verb or word like “did,” “does,” “is,” etc.
✔ Rewritten: Did Ben drop his ice cream?
*Explanation:* We turn the statement into a question by adding “Did” at the beginning and changing the verb “dropped” to its base form “drop” (since “did” already shows past tense).
---
➡️ Declarative sentences make statements — they end with a period and tell something.
✔ Rewritten: You should put your toys away.
*Explanation:* The original is an imperative (command). To make it declarative, we add a subject (“You”) and a modal verb (“should”) to state a suggestion or fact.
---
➡️ Imperative sentences give commands or requests — they often start with a verb and may omit the subject “you.”
✔ Rewritten: Wash your hair, Jill.
*Explanation:* We remove the question structure and turn it into a direct command. The name “Jill” can come at the end for politeness or emphasis.
---
➡️ Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion — they end with an exclamation point!
✔ Rewritten: Our team is the best!
*Explanation:* This one is easy — just change the period to an exclamation point! The sentence already expresses pride/enthusiasm.
---
➡️ Imperative = command. Remove “should” and make it direct.
✔ Rewritten: Set the table.
*Explanation:* Drop the subject “You” and “should” — imperatives are often implied to be directed at “you.” Just start with the verb.
---
➡️ Again, turn the question into a command/request.
✔ Rewritten: Join us!
*Explanation:* Instead of asking if they’re going to join, directly invite them with a command. Adding an exclamation mark gives it energy (optional but common for imperatives).
---
➡️ Turn the question into a statement.
✔ Rewritten: My dog is adorable.
*Explanation:* Simply rearrange the words to form a statement — subject + verb + complement — and end with a period.
---
➡️ Turn the negative statement into a question.
✔ Rewritten: Was this a good idea?
*Explanation:* Move the helping verb “was” to the front, change “not” to a neutral tone (since questions don’t always need negation), and end with a question mark. Alternatively, you could say: Wasn’t this a good idea? — which is also interrogative but rhetorical. The simpler version is preferred here.
---
## ✔ Final Answer Sheet:
1. Did Ben drop his ice cream?
2. You should put your toys away.
3. Wash your hair, Jill.
4. Our team is the best!
5. Set the table.
6. Join us!
7. My dog is adorable.
8. Was this a good idea?
