Identifying Sentence Types Worksheet 3 for grammar practice.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out what type it is.

We have four types:
- Declarative (D) – tells something, ends with a period.
- Interrogative (INT) – asks a question, ends with a question mark.
- Imperative (IMP) – gives a command or request, often starts with a verb, can end with period or exclamation.
- Exclamatory (E) – shows strong feeling, ends with an exclamation point.

Now let’s look at each sentence:

1. “What is your favorite cartoon?” → This is asking a question → INT

2. “This is the last time I am going to tell you.” → Telling something, but sounds like a warning → still declarative? Wait — actually, it’s stating a fact, even if serious → D
*(But note: sometimes people might think it’s imperative because it’s a warning — but grammatically, it’s not giving a direct command. It’s declaring something. So D.)*

Wait — let’s double-check #2. The sentence doesn’t start with a verb commanding someone. It says “This is...” — that’s telling info → D

3. “I love getting presents!” → Shows excitement → ends with ! → E

4. “His favorite color was green so he wore it often.” → Just telling a fact → D

5. “The horse is running away!” → Excitement or alarm → ends with ! → E

6. “Are you better at math, science, or reading?” → Asking a question → INT

7. “That outfit is so cute!” → Strong feeling → E

8. “Turn the lights back on.” → Command → starts with verb “Turn” → IMP

9. “There are three girls and two boys in this group.” → Stating a fact → D

10. “This movie is funny.” → Statement → D

11. “Will you be skiing with us later?” → Question → INT

12. “Hang up your coat when you go inside.” → Command → starts with verb “Hang” → IMP

13. “What is your favorite book?” → Question → INT

14. “Run as fast as you can.” → Command → IMP

15. “Take your muddy shoes off.” → Command → IMP

16. “Did you remember to close the gate?” → Question → INT

17. “I need to go to the mall and buy a new shirt.” → Statement → D

18. “Move the chair next to the table.” → Command → IMP

19. “Do you have a favorite painter?” → Question → INT

20. “We are going out for ice cream after dinner.” → Statement → D

Let me quickly recheck any tricky ones:

#2: “This is the last time I am going to tell you.” — Still declarative. Not a command. Correct.

#5: “The horse is running away!” — Exclamatory because of the emotion and exclamation mark.

#8, 12, 14, 15, 18 — all commands starting with verbs → IMP

All questions ending with ? → INT

Statements ending with . → D

Excited statements with ! → E

Looks good.
