Christmas Grammar Worksheet – Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences 

Since it’s the Christmas season, add a sprinkle of Christmas spirit to your grammar lessons with our printable Christmas sentence cut and paste worksheet.

This activity will help students review their knowledge of these sentence structures.

This activity requires students to 

• Read sentences to determine if they are simple, compound, or complex and sort them into the correct categories and glue them down.
