Grammar in Action: Sentence Function Question Cards

These question cards (Who or What?, Did what?, Where?, Which one?, How many?, and What kind?) guide students in unpacking meaning and building sentences by examining the function of words and phrases within them. Each prompt directs students to consider how meaning and grammatical purpose work together, supporting reading comprehension and sentence writing.
