8 sentence structure skills at 2nd grade, one sheet each, free with its answer key: combining sentences, complete sentences, expanding sentences, and more.

Combining sentences Two short sentences about the same thing can join into one smoother sentence. Use a joining word, and say repeated words only once.
Complete sentences A complete sentence names who or what, then tells what happens. If a part is missing, it is not a sentence yet.
Expanding sentences A short sentence can grow. Add the words in parentheses where they fit best, and keep the capital and the period.
Sentence fragments A fragment is a piece of a sentence. Find what it is missing: the naming part (subject) or the telling part (predicate).
Sentence unscramble Find the word with the capital letter to start. Find the word with the end mark to finish. Build the middle so it makes sense.
Simple and compound sentences A simple sentence has one who-did-what. A compound sentence is two of them, joined by a comma and a word like and, but, or so.
Subject and predicate The subject names who or what the sentence is about. The predicate is everything the sentence says about it, starting with the verb.
Types of sentences A statement tells. A question asks. A command orders. An exclamation bursts with feeling.
