Grade 4 Grammar Worksheets
Fourth grade grammar is mostly repair. Students correct run-ons, fix capitalisation across a passage, choose between pronoun forms, and start writing compound sentences with the comma the conjunction needs.
14 printable grade 4 grammar worksheets, 210 questions across eight skills. Every sheet prints a rule reminder above the questions and its answer key on a separate page, and none of them needs an account.
What a grade 4 sheet asks for
15 questions per sheet, with the answer key on a separate page.
What is on this page
14 sheets on this page were written for grade 4 specifically. Sheets for the grade either side are linked separately under Nearby grades and are not counted here. The skills covered, largest first, are Sentence Structure (3), Pronoun Usage (2), Capitalization Rules (2), Punctuation (2), Comma Rules (2), Parts of Speech (1), Subject-Verb Agreement (1) and Verb Tenses (1).
Between them the grade 4 sheets come to 210 questions across four question types: 14 × identify, 14 × fill in the blank, 14 × rewrite and 14 × write your own. 140 ruled lines are printed between them, and that count decides how long a sheet takes far more than the question count does.
The topics a grade 4 sheet covers
14 distinct topics are covered at grade 4: apostrophes for possession, apostrophes in contractions, capitals in quotations, commas in dates and addresses, commas in a series, compound subjects, days, months and holidays, four sentence types, irregular past tense, object pronouns, prepositions, run-on sentences and comma splices, simple sentences and subject pronouns. Each has its own sheet, its own rule box and its own answer key, so none of them is a variation on the one above it.
How a grade 4 sheet asks its questions
Grade 4 sits in the 3-5 band, which this site calls application work. Applying the rule. The student corrects errors, completes sentences, chooses between forms and explains a choice in a few words. Some questions ask for an original sentence that uses the rule.
42 rule statements are printed across the grade 4 sheets, in a box above the questions rather than assumed from a lesson last week — so a sheet tests whether the rule can be applied, not whether it was remembered. Altogether a student reads about 3929 words to work through everything on this page.
Sentences of 8 to 14 words, one or two clauses, vocabulary a 8 to 11 year old meets in class. Subjects may include school topics, simple science and everyday events. That is the reading level these sheets are written to, and it is worth checking against a particular class before printing a set: a sheet pitched right on the grammar and wrong on the reading fails the same child either way.
