Step-by-step solution for: 50+ Inflectional Endings worksheets on Quizizz | Free & Printable
Let’s go through each question one by one. We’re looking for the word that does not fit the pattern — meaning, three words follow a spelling rule or ending pattern, and one breaks it.
---
Question 1:
Words:
A) stirs → base: stir + s (present tense third person)
B) named → base: name + ed (past tense, silent e dropped? No — “name” ends in e, so just add d → correct)
C) jumped → base: jump + ed (regular past tense)
D) grabbed → base: grab + ed → but “grab” is CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), so should double final consonant → “grabbed” is actually correct! Wait… let’s check patterns.
Actually, look at endings:
- stirs → -s (third person singular present)
- named → -ed (past tense)
- jumped → -ed (past tense)
- grabbed → -ed (past tense)
So A is different — it’s present tense with -s, others are past tense with -ed.
But wait — maybe the pattern is about how the suffix is added?
Check if any word doesn’t follow standard inflection rules:
- stir → stirs ✔ (just add s)
- name → named ✔ (drop nothing, just add d because ends in e)
- jump → jumped ✔ (just add ed)
- grab → grabbed ✔ (double b before ed — correct!)
All are correctly spelled. So which one doesn’t fit the *pattern*?
Maybe the pattern is: which one is NOT a regular past tense verb?
“stirs” is present tense. Others are past tense.
→ So A) stirs does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q1: A
---
Question 2:
Words:
A) hurried → hurry + ed → y changes to i + ed → correct
B) wraps → wrap + s → present tense third person
C) lined → line + d → ends in e, so just add d → correct
D) wrapped → wrap + ed → CVC, so double p → wrapped → correct
Again, B is present tense (-s), others are past tense (-ed).
→ B) wraps does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q2: B
---
Question 3:
Words:
A) giving → give + ing → drop e + ing → correct
B) hopes → hope + s → present tense third person
C) lives → live + s → present tense third person
D) gives → give + s → present tense third person
Wait — all except A are present tense with -s.
A is -ing form.
So A) giving does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q3: A
---
Question 4:
Words:
A) drop → base verb
B) playing → play + ing → no doubling needed (ends in vowel+y? play = v+v+c? Actually, “play” ends in ay — vowel sound, so just add ing → playing ✔)
C) dropping → drop + ing → CVC, so double p → dropping ✔
D) wrapping → wrap + ing → CVC, double p → wrapping ✔
A is base form. Others are -ing forms.
→ A) drop does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q4: A
---
Question 5:
Words:
A) hoping → hope + ing → drop e + ing → correct
B) running → run + ing → CVC, double n → running ✔
C) dances → dance + s → present tense third person
D) dancing → dance + ing → drop e + ing → correct
C is present tense (-s), others are -ing forms.
→ C) dances does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q5: C
---
Question 6:
Words:
A) naming → name + ing → drop e + ing → correct
B) splitting → split + ing → CVC? split = s-l-i-t → ends in t, preceded by l (consonant), so yes — double t? Wait: “split” → s-l-i-t → last syllable stressed? Yes → so double t → splitting ✔
C) shake → base verb
D) shaking → shake + ing → drop e + ing → correct
C is base form. Others are -ing forms.
→ C) shake does not fit.
✔ Answer for Q6: C
---
Question 7: (only partial shown, but we’ll assume it follows same logic — however, since image cuts off, and user only provided up to Q7 without options, we stop here.)
Wait — the image shows only questions 1–7, but question 7 has no options listed. Since the user uploaded an image with 15 questions but only first 7 visible, and instruction says “solve the problem accurately”, we can only solve what’s visible.
But looking back — the user’s image includes only questions 1 through 7, and question 7 is cut off (“Choose the spelling word that does not fit in the pattern” — no options). So perhaps the task is only for questions 1–6? Or maybe I missed something.
Wait — rechecking original input: The image shows 7 questions, but question 7 has no answer choices printed. That might be a formatting error in the image. Since we can’t see options for Q7, we cannot solve it.
But the user said “Solve the problem accurately” — and the problem is the quiz shown. Since Q7 is incomplete, perhaps we ignore it? Or maybe in the actual full quiz, Q7 has options — but they’re not visible.
Given constraints, I will provide answers for Q1–Q6 only, as those are complete.
However, let me double-check — in the image description, after Q6 comes Q7 with no options. So likely, the student is expected to answer only what’s visible? But the header says “15 Questions”. Hmm.
Since I must work with what’s given, and Q7 has no options, I’ll assume the task is to solve Q1–Q6.
But wait — perhaps I misread. Let me scan again.
In the user’s message, the text ends at:
> 7. Choose the spelling word that does not fit in the pattern
And then nothing else. So no options for Q7. Therefore, I cannot answer Q7.
But the instruction says “solve the problem accurately” — implying all visible problems. Since Q7 is incomplete, maybe it’s a trick? Or perhaps in context, we skip it.
Alternatively, maybe the user intended to upload full image but only part came through. Given that, I’ll proceed with Q1–Q6.
Final Answers:
Q1: A
