These bright, appealing SPaG worksheets are a great help for practising and revising the construction and use of questions in Year 2. There are three worksheets in total, covering the following five sections – ‘understand’, ‘challenge’, ‘test’, ‘explain’ and ‘apply’.
UnderstandStudents rewrite three statements so that they become questions, and then proceed to add punctuation to a further three questions to turn them into grammatically correct statements or questions.
ChallengeStudents are presented with an image prompt and tasked with writing two questions that fit with two supplied answers
TestStudents identify whether a series of 10 sentences without punctuation marks are questions or statements, before adding the punctuation each sentence requires.
Explain‘Explain in your own words the difference between a question and an exclamation’ – students then offer an example of each.
ApplyStudents are presented with an image prompt and tasked with writing a short story that includes the use of three question marks.
