Yes, after "begin" but before "exception" or "end" you can only have statements. 
But it would be a good idea to be familiar with the kinds of statements, which 
are given in ARM 5

http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/rm12_w_tc1/html/RM-5.html

ARM 5.1 lists all the kinds of statements. Of particular interest might be the 
block statement, described in more detail in ARM 5.6.
