Let's solve this Grade 3 English worksheet step by step.

Part 1: Sentence or a Fragment

We need to determine whether each group of words forms a complete sentence or a fragment.

A sentence has:
- A subject
- A verb
- Expresses a complete thought

A fragment is incomplete — it might be missing a subject, a verb, or doesn't express a full idea.

---

#### 1. I remember my first day of swimming school.
- Subject: *I*
- Verb: *remember*
- Complete thought: Yes
✔ Sentence

#### 2. Looked surprised.
- No subject (who looked surprised?)
- Verb: *looked* (past tense)
- But no subject → incomplete
✘ Fragment

#### 3. Was broken.
- No subject (what was broken?)
- Verb: *was* (auxiliary) + *broken* (past participle)
- Missing subject → incomplete
✘ Fragment

#### 4. We know each other since 5 years.
- Subject: *We*
- Verb: *know*
- But the phrase *"since 5 years"* is incorrect. It should be *"for 5 years"* or *"since 5 years ago"*. However, even with that fix, the structure is awkward.
- Still, it expresses a complete thought (though grammatically flawed).
- But "since" is used for time points, not durations. So "since 5 years" is wrong.
- However, the main issue here is grammar, not completeness.
- The group has subject and verb and expresses a complete idea — just poorly worded.
➡️ But technically, it’s a sentence, though grammatically incorrect.
✔ Sentence (but note: correct version would be "We have known each other for 5 years.")

> Note: In grade 3, they may accept it as a sentence if it has subject and verb and makes sense. So we’ll go with:
✔ Sentence

#### 5. Have sandwiches.
- No subject (who has sandwiches?)
- Verb: *have*
- Missing subject → incomplete
✘ Fragment

Part 2: Statement or Question?

We need to:
- Decide if the sentence is a statement or a question
- Rewrite it with correct capitalization and punctuation

---

#### 1. do you remember your best friend
- This starts with "do", which is a question word
- Ends without punctuation
- It's asking something → Question
- Correct form: Do you remember your best friend?

✔ Question
Rewritten: Do you remember your best friend?

---

#### 2. Maybe you were shocked
- Starts with "Maybe" — this is a statement
- No question mark
- It's expressing an opinion or possibility
- So it's a statement
- Capitalize first letter and add period

✔ Statement
Rewritten: Maybe you were shocked.

---

#### 3. maybe you were happy
- Same as above — "maybe" indicates a statement
- Not asking a question
- Needs capitalization and period

✔ Statement
Rewritten: Maybe you were happy.

---

#### 4. Do you know the way to cyber city?
- Starts with "Do" and ends with a question mark
- Clearly a question

✔ Question
Rewritten: Already correct!
→ Do you know the way to cyber city?

---

#### 5. did you make dessert?
- Starts with "did" — auxiliary verb in question
- Ends with question mark
- So it's a question
- Just needs capitalization

✔ Question
Rewritten: Did you make dessert?

---

✔ Part 2 Answers:

| Number | Type | Rewritten Sentence |
|--------|------------|----------------------------------------|
| 1 | Question | Do you remember your best friend? |
| 2 | Statement | Maybe you were shocked. |
| 3 | Statement | Maybe you were happy. |
