Clear Expressions: Understanding Sentence Types for Grade 3 

This Grade 3 worksheet helps young learners identify and use the four main sentence types — declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative. Through engaging activities like underlining tasks, multiple-choice questions, rewriting exercises, fill-in-the-blanks, and paragraph writing, students learn how each sentence type communicates meaning differently. These activities build strong foundational grammar skills that support reading fluency, clearer writing, and confident communication.

2. They teach children how to ask questions, give commands, show excitement, and state facts correctly. 
3. They build clarity in writing by helping students choose the right structure for what they want to express.
