Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: Sarah is happy today. Which sentence is a declarative sentence?

Question 1 options
'She likes coffee.' is correct because it is a declarative sentence — it makes a statement and ends with a period. The other options are a question, a command, and an exclamation, which are different sentence types.
Q2 15

Question 2: My brother loves football. He ___ every Saturday with his friends.

Question 2 options
'plays' is correct because declarative sentences in the simple present use the base verb with an -s ending for third-person singular subjects. 'Playing' and 'play' do not match the third-person singular rule, and 'played' shifts to past tense without context.
Q3 15

Question 3: A declarative sentence always ends with a period (full stop).

Question 3 options
True because the defining punctuation of a declarative sentence is a period. Other sentence types end with a question mark or exclamation mark, but declarative sentences — which make statements — always end with a period.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses a declarative sentence?

Question 4 options
A declarative sentence is used to share information or state a fact. Asking for directions uses a question, giving a command uses an imperative, and expressing strong surprise uses an exclamatory sentence.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • .
  • The students
  • their homework
  • always finish

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'The students always finish their homework.' because a declarative sentence follows Subject + Adverb + Verb + Object word order, with the frequency adverb 'always' placed before the main verb.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct as a declarative sentence?

Question 6 options
'The children play in the park every afternoon.' is correct because it has a subject, a predicate, and ends with a period. The other options either end with a question mark or exclamation mark, or are missing the subject.
Q7 15

Question 7: Read the dialogue: Tom: 'What did you do yesterday?' Lisa: '___.' Which option correctly completes Lisa's declarative reply?

Question 7 options
'I visited my grandmother in the morning.' is correct because it is a full declarative sentence — it has a subject ('I'), a predicate ('visited my grandmother in the morning'), and ends with a period. The other options are a question, a command, or an incomplete fragment.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a declarative structure instead of an interrogative structure?

Question 8 options
'She works at a hospital.' is correct because it uses standard Subject + Verb + Place word order, which is the declarative structure. The other options use inverted word order or auxiliary verbs at the start, which signals an interrogative (question) structure.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • every evening
  • books
  • .
  • My sister
  • reads

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'My sister reads books every evening.' because declarative sentences follow Subject + Verb + Object + Time phrase order, placing the subject first and time expressions at the end.
Q10 15

Question 10: We go to the market on Sundays, ___ we also visit our grandparents.

Question 10 options
'and' is correct because a compound declarative sentence joins two related clauses using a coordinating conjunction such as 'and'. 'But' suggests contrast, 'so' suggests result, and 'or' suggests a choice — none of which fit two compatible, parallel activities.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about declarative sentences is true?

Question 11 options
Declarative sentences always require both a subject and a predicate to be complete. They do not begin with auxiliary verbs (that is a question feature), they do not always use the word 'not', and they can express opinions as well as facts.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite as a declarative sentence: 'Is the weather cold today?' → The weather ___ today.

Question 12 options
'is cold' is correct because converting a question to a declarative sentence removes the inverted auxiliary verb structure and restores Subject + Verb + Complement order. 'cold is' reverses the order incorrectly, 'be cold' uses the infinitive form incorrectly, and 'does cold' adds a wrong auxiliary.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
She enjoys painting.
He likes tea, but she prefers coffee.
The film was long; however, it was interesting.
I think this book is very good.
Declarative sentence expressing an opinion
Simple declarative sentence
Compound declarative sentence with coordinating conjunction
Compound declarative sentence with semicolon and transition word

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Simple declarative sentences have one subject and one predicate. Compound declarative sentences join two clauses with a conjunction or semicolon. Declarative sentences can state facts or express opinions, and they always end with a period.
Q14 15

Question 14: A declarative sentence can only be a simple sentence with one subject and one predicate — it cannot join two clauses together.

Question 14 options
False because declarative sentences can also be compound, joining two related clauses with a coordinating conjunction (such as 'and' or 'but') or a semicolon. Both simple and compound forms are valid declarative sentences as long as they make a statement and end with a period.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence most clearly expresses a personal opinion using a declarative structure?

Question 15 options
'I believe this neighbourhood is very safe.' is correct because it uses the declarative Subject + Verb + Complement structure to express the speaker's opinion directly. The other options are a question, a command, or a general fact with no personal opinion marker.
