Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Discuss how changing a sentence type changes its function: the same information can inform, ask, instruct, or express emotion.

Vocabulary
Declarative: A sentence that makes a statement.
Interrogative: A sentence that asks a question.
Exclamatory: A sentence showing strong feeling.
Common Mistakes
  • Changing a statement to a question without inverting subject and auxiliary verb
  • Adding an exclamation mark to a statement instead of restructuring it
Extension Activities
  • Turn statements into commands.
  • Identify sentence types in books.
  • Write a story using different sentence types.
Parent Tip

Ask your child to change simple statements into questions or exclamations.
