To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each sentence and figure out which word from the box makes the most sense. We are looking for the right verb (action word) or helper word to complete the thought.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
1.
Sentence: "_______ you make dinner today?"
*
Analysis: This is a question asking about a possibility or ability in the present or future. The word "could" fits well here as a polite way to ask.
*
Selection: could
2.
Sentence: "_______ about your answer."
*
Analysis: This is an instruction telling someone to use their brain. The phrase "think about" is a common expression.
*
Selection: think
3.
Sentence: "He _______ the toy first."
*
Analysis: We need a past tense verb here because "first" implies an action that already happened. "Took" is the past tense of "take."
*
Selection: took
4.
Sentence: "_______ your backpack to school."
*
Analysis: This is an instruction (imperative sentence). You carry or bring your backpack. The word "take" fits perfectly here.
*
Selection: Take
5.
Sentence: "Rex wants to go for a _______."
*
Analysis: We need a noun that goes with "go for a...". Common phrases are "go for a walk" or "go for a run." "Walk" is in our list.
*
Selection: walk
6.
Sentence: "Ida does not _______ that girl."
*
Analysis: We need a verb that describes a relationship or feeling. "Know" fits best here (Ida does not know that girl).
*
Selection: know
7.
Sentence: "_______ your grandma for the money."
*
Analysis: This is an instruction. You usually ask someone for money. The word "Ask" isn't in the list, but "ask" is not there... wait, looking at the list again: "walk, had, her, take, think, may, once, thank, know, could". Ah, "ask" is not there. Let's re-evaluate.
* *Correction:* Let's look at the remaining words: "had, her, once, thank, may".
* "Thank your grandma for the money" makes perfect sense. You thank someone when they give you money.
*
Selection: Thank
8.
Sentence: "Mom took _______ to see the doctor."
*
Analysis: We need an object pronoun here to say who went with Mom. "Her" is the correct pronoun (Mom took her).
*
Selection: her
9.
Sentence: "You _______ have one cookie."
*
Analysis: This is giving permission. "May" is used to give permission (You may have one cookie).
*
Selection: may
10.
Sentence: "_______ he naps, we will go to the beach."
*
Analysis: This sentence sets a condition of time. "Once" means "after" or "as soon as." Once he naps (after he naps), we will go.
*
Selection: Once
Final Answer:
1. could
2. think
3. took
4. Take
5. walk
