Bright Words, Big Feelings: Sentence Types for Grade 2

 This Grade 2 English worksheet helps children understand three important sentence types: statements, questions, and exclamations. Through engaging activities like underlining nouns and verbs, multiple choice questions, sentence rewriting, story-based blanks, and paragraph writing, learners see how sentences can tell, ask, or show strong feelings in real-life situations like school and play. The tasks are short, structured, and age-appropriate, making them ideal for classwork or homework support for young writers and readers. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} 

Why Sentence Types – Statement, Question, Exclamation Matter in Grammar? 

For Grade 2 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. It helps children say what they want clearly by choosing the right sentence type. 
2. It strengthens punctuation habits with full stops, question marks, and exclamation marks. 
3. It builds reading comprehension by showing how tone and feeling change meaning. 
4. It makes speaking and writing more expressive, natural, and fun for everyday communication. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This worksheet includes five carefully designed exercises that build confidence with sentence types: 

Exercise 1 – Underline the Noun and Circle the Verb 
Children read ten simple sentences about familiar people, animals, and daily actions. In each sentence, they identify the noun (naming word) and the verb (action word), reinforcing that every complete sentence needs someone or something doing an action. 

Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice: Statement, Question, or Exclamation 
Learners read ten short sentences and choose the option that matches the instruction, such as picking the statement, the question, or the exclamation. This helps them recognise clues like word order and sentence-ending punctuation. 

Exercise 3 – Change the Form: Statement, Question, Exclamation 
Students rewrite sentences as statements, questions, or exclamations as directed. They practise changing word order and punctuation to match the required sentence type. 

Exercise 4 – Story Passage with Blanks 
Children complete a short story about Meera at the playground by filling in missing words that turn the sentences into suitable statements, questions, or exclamations. This shows how sentence types work in a connected, meaningful context. 

Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing 
Learners write a short paragraph about a fun day they remember, using statements, questions, and exclamations together. This encourages creativity while reinforcing correct sentence forms.
