Printable worksheet designed to help students distinguish between the commonly confused words "accept" and "except," featuring example sentences and a writing exercise.

Let me work through this worksheet step by step.

Understanding the difference:
- accept = to receive, agree to, or take something
- except = excluding, not including, apart from

Now let me solve each question:

1. "Will you (accept / except) my proposal?" - This is asking if someone will agree to/receive a proposal → accept

2. "They all showed up (accept / except) Timothy." - This means everyone came BUT NOT Timothy → except

3. "We are all here (accept / except) mom and dad." - Everyone is present BUT NOT mom and dad → except

4. "I decided to (accept / except) the offer on my home." - Deciding to receive/agree to an offer → accept

5. "Will you (accept / except) or reject my advice?" - Asking if someone will receive/take the advice (opposite of reject) → accept

6. "The kids all ate (accept / except) little Johny." - All kids ate BUT NOT little Johny → except

7. "I brought everything (accept / except) my suitcase." - Brought all things BUT NOT the suitcase → except

8. "I will (accept / except) your offer." - Will receive/agree to the offer → accept

9. "Sharon decided to (accept / except) the certificate." - Decided to receive/take the certificate → accept

For questions 10 and 11, I need to create example sentences:

10. accept - Example: "I will accept the gift you gave me."

11. except - Example: "Everyone passed the test except Sarah."
