Quote It Perfectly: Quotation Marks for Grade 4

This Grade 4 grammar worksheet helps learners confidently use quotation marks to punctuate spoken words in sentences and passages. As students begin writing longer dialogues and expressive conversations, understanding where quotation marks start and end becomes essential. This worksheet focuses on punctuating questions, statements, commands, and exclamations correctly within speech.

Through structured and age-appropriate practice, learners move from identifying correct examples to rewriting sentences and editing a full story. These activities strengthen reading expression, writing clarity, and overall grammar accuracy in everyday communication and story writing.
