About this resource
Description
A command is a sentence that tells someone what to do, and it ends with a period. Learning to notice and write commands helps second graders see that not every sentence simply reports a fact. This commands worksheet gives students focused practice with imperative sentences, so they can hear the difference between a sentence that tells about something and a sentence that asks someone to act.
This commands worksheet is a two-page printable with a complete answer key. Students begin by circling the command in four sentence pairs, then use a word box of action words to finish three commands, and finally look at a picture and write an original command sentence of their own. Print one copy per student and work through Part A together before letting students finish Parts B and C independently.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page plus a full answer key page
- Part A: four sentence pairs for sorting commands from telling sentences
- Part B: a three-word action-word box and three commands to complete
- Part C: a picture prompt with writing lines for an original command
- Clean, roomy layout built for second grade handwriting
Three reasons this activity helps kids. First, it builds sentence awareness by setting commands and telling sentences side by side, so the contrast itself does the teaching. Second, it moves students from recognizing a command to producing one, which is where real writing growth happens. Third, it keeps the reading load light, so student thinking stays on sentence type instead of decoding. Teachers hunting for a clear 2nd grade sentences worksheet will find this one quick to assign and fast to score.
Try reading each sentence pair aloud and asking students to use a firm, friendly voice for the command. At home, families can turn everyday directions into a game: write three commands for the bedtime routine, or label a chore chart with sentences that begin with an action word. Students who finish early can flip a telling sentence from Part A into a command, then read it to a partner.
