Grade 6 Grammar Worksheets
Sixth grade separates clauses from phrases and introduces the semicolon and colon. Sentences on these sheets are long enough that the rule has to be applied deliberately rather than by ear.
What a grade 6 sheet asks for
Complex analysis. The student works with multi-clause sentences, distinguishes cases that look alike, repairs writing that is wrong in more than one way, and states which rule applies and why.
18 questions per sheet, with the answer key on a separate page.
