- The task is to distinguish between asking sentences (questions) and telling sentences (statements).
- An asking sentence begins with a question word (who, what, when, where, why, how, should, etc.) and ends with a question mark.
- A telling sentence provides information and ends with a period or an exclamation point.
- For each card, read the sentence aloud and identify whether it is an asking sentence or a telling sentence based on its structure and punctuation.
- Example 2 ("What time does school start?") is an asking sentence because it starts with "What" and ends with a question mark.
- Example 3 ("We should clean the kitchen before Mom gets home.") is a telling sentence because it states a suggestion and ends with a period.
- Example 4 ("Should we get a gift for our friend, Tia?") is an asking sentence because it starts with "Should" and ends with a question mark.
