Clear Statements: Declarative Sentences for Grade 3  

This Grade 3 worksheet helps students understand declarative sentences—sentences that share information, facts, or ideas clearly. Designed for young learners, it introduces how declarative sentences tell us something and always end with a full stop. Through simple explanations and guided practice, students learn to identify declarative sentences, differentiate them from questions, commands, and exclamations, and confidently use them in sentences and short paragraphs.  

Why Declarative Sentences Matter in Grammar?  

Learning declarative sentences is important for Grade 3 students because declarative sentences help children share facts and information clearly, they form the base of everyday communication and writing, they teach students correct sentence-ending punctuation, and understanding sentence types helps learners choose the right sentence for the right situation.
