- A statement is a simple sentence that expresses a fact or an opinion and ends with a full stop.
- A question is a simple sentence that asks the reader for an answer and ends with a question mark.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to know the difference between facts and opinions.
Provide lots of examples and opportunities for pupils to share different opinions about things they are familiar with like TV programmes.
