Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide if it is asking a question or telling something (a statement).
Remember:
- A
question asks for information. It often starts with words like “Why,” “What,” “Where,” “When,” etc., and usually ends with a question mark (though in this worksheet, they forgot to add them — so we have to look at the words!).
- A
statement tells you something. It gives facts or opinions.

→ This is telling us what the children are doing. Not asking anything.
✔ Statement
2.
Why should you be friendly to people
→ Starts with “Why” — that’s asking for a reason. Even though there’s no question mark, it’s clearly a question.
✔ Question
