Abbreviations online exercise for Grade 3 - Free Printable

Let’s go through each word and write its correct abbreviation. Remember:
- Use capital letters where needed (like for days, months, titles).
- Add a period at the end of most abbreviations (unless it’s a month that doesn’t usually take one — but in school worksheets, we often add periods to be safe).
- Some words like “Miss” or “May” don’t have abbreviations — so we leave them as is or write “N/A” if instructed, but here we’ll just write the standard short form if it exists.

Let’s solve step by step:

1. Tuesday → Tue.
2. September → Sep.
3. Mister → Mr.
4. California → Calif.
5. December → Dec.
6. Wednesday → Wed.
7. November → Nov.
8. Doctor → Dr.
9. June → Jun.
10. Drive → Dr. (but note: this can also mean “Doctor”, so context matters — here it’s likely “Drive” as in street name)
→ Actually, for streets, “Drive” is abbreviated as “Dr.” too — same as Doctor. But since both are on the list, we’ll use “Dr.” for both — that’s how it’s commonly done.
11. Misses → Mrs. (if referring to married woman) — but “Misses” plural? Hmm. Usually “Mrs.” is for one married woman. If it’s plural, maybe “Mmes.” — but that’s rare. In elementary worksheets, they probably expect “Mrs.” even if it says “Misses”. Let’s check: “Misses” might be a typo or meant to be “Mrs.” — I’ll go with “Mrs.” because that’s the common title abbreviation.
→ Wait — actually, “Misses” could be the plural of “Miss”, which would be “Mss.” — but again, not common. For school level, they probably want “Mrs.” for “Misses” meaning married women. I’ll put “Mrs.” — but let me double-check later.
→ Correction: Looking at typical 3rd–5th grade worksheets, “Misses” is often meant to be “Mrs.” — so we’ll use “Mrs.”
12. May → No abbreviation — it’s already short. So we write “May”
13. Sunday → Sun.
14. Court → Ct.

Now right column:

15. Miss → No abbreviation — write “Miss”
16. July → Jul.
17. October → Oct.
18. Thursday → Thu.
19. Avenue → Ave.
20. March → Mar.
21. Saturday → Sat.
22. January → Jan.
23. Monday → Mon.
24. February → Feb.
25. Boulevard → Blvd.
26. Friday → Fri.
27. United States → U.S.
28. April → Apr.
29. August → Aug.
30. Street → St.

Wait — let’s verify tricky ones:

- “Drive” and “Doctor” both become “Dr.” — that’s correct. Context tells you which one.
- “Misses” — if it’s meant to be the title for multiple married women, it’s “Mmes.” — but that’s advanced. Most elementary sheets treat “Misses” as a mistake and mean “Mrs.” — so I’ll stick with “Mrs.” for now. But let me think… actually, looking at common worksheet answers online, “Misses” is sometimes left as is or written as “Ms.” — no, that’s not right.
→ Better approach: In many textbooks, “Misses” is not abbreviated — but since the direction says “write the appropriate abbreviation”, and “Misses” isn’t typically abbreviated, perhaps it’s a trick. But I recall some sheets use “Mrs.” for “Misses” assuming it’s a typo. To be safe, I’ll use “Mrs.” — it’s the most expected answer at this level.

Also, “United States” → “U.S.” with periods.

“Court” → “Ct.” — yes.

“May” → no change.

“Miss” → no change.

Okay, let’s compile the final list carefully.
