Asking or Telling Sentence worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one.

We need to decide: Is the sentence asking a question (like it wants an answer), or is it telling something (just giving information)?

A good clue: If the sentence ends with a question mark (?), it’s usually asking.
If it ends with a period (.), it’s usually telling.

But let’s also think about what the sentence is doing — not just look at punctuation.
