alphabet numbers colours test - ESL worksheet by elizabeth_gr - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet.

---

1. Complete.

We need to fill in the missing letters of the alphabet.

First row:
a _ c _ e _ g h i _ _ l _

The full alphabet is:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

So let’s match:

- After “a” → b
- After “c” → d
- After “e” → f
- After “i” → j, then k
- After “l” → m

Second row:
n o p _ r _ _ u _ w x y _

Fill in:

- After “p” → q
- After “r” → s, then t
- After “u” → v
- After “y” → z

✔ So completed lines are:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m
n o p q r s t u v w x y z

2. Write.

We have circles with one letter and a blank before or after it. We need to write the letter that comes right before or after, depending on position.

Top row (lowercase):

_ b → letter before b is a
_ h → before h is g
_ l → before l is k
_ r → before r is q
_ d → before d is c
_ e → before e is d

Wait — look again! The blanks are *before* the given letter in all top-row cases? Let’s check:

Actually, looking at the layout:

It says:
[ ___ b ] [ ___ h ] [ ___ l ] [ ___ r ] [ ___ d ] [ ___ e ]

That means we’re writing the letter that comes BEFORE each given letter.

But wait — for “b”, before is “a”
“h” → “g”
“l” → “k”
“r” → “q”
“d” → “c”
“e” → “d”

BUT — hold on! For “e”, if we write “d”, that’s correct — but notice “d” already appeared earlier? That’s okay — repetition is fine.

Now bottom row (uppercase):

N ___ → after N is O
P ___ → after P is Q
G ___ → after G is H
A ___ → after A is B
T ___ → after T is U

Wait — actually, looking at the format:

It’s written as:
[N ___] [P ___] [G ___] [A ___] [T ___]

So the blank is AFTER the capital letter.

Yes — so:

N → O
P → Q
G → H
A → B
T → U

✔ Final answers for #2:

Top row: a, g, k, q, c, d
Bottom row: O, Q, H, B, U

3. Choose. Then write.

We are given words: five, nine, four, eight, one, three

And pictures of numbers: 4, 1, 5, 9, 3, 8

We must match the word to the number picture.

Look at each number:

- Picture of 4 → word is four
- Picture of 1 → word is one
- Picture of 5 → word is five
- Picture of 9 → word is nine
- Picture of 3 → word is three
- Picture of 8 → word is eight

Write the word under each number.

Order shown in image (left to right, top to bottom):

Top row: 4, 1, 5 → write: four, one, five
Bottom row: 9, 3, 8 → write: nine, three, eight

✔ Answers:
Under 4 → four
Under 1 → one
Under 5 → five
Under 9 → nine
Under 3 → three
Under 8 → eight

4. Write a / e / i / o / u.

We need to fill in vowels to complete common short words.

Let’s take them one by one.

First column:

gr __ __ n → green → needs e and e? Wait — “green” has two e’s? But only two blanks.

Wait — maybe it’s “gr_n” — no, it says “gr __ __ n” — two blanks.

Common word: green → g-r-e-e-n → so first blank = e, second = e

But let’s check others.

Next: y __ ll __ w → yellow → y-e-l-l-o-w → so first blank = e, second = o

Then: r __ d → red → r-e-d → blank = e

Second column:

p __ nk → pink → p-i-n-k → blank = i

__ r __ ng __ → this looks like “orange”? But “orange” is o-r-a-n-g-e — too long.

Wait — maybe “ring”? But it says “__ r __ ng __” — 5 blanks? No — let’s count:

It says: “.... r .... ng ....” — probably meant to be 3 blanks: _ r _ ng _

Common word: bring? b-r-i-n-g → but ends with g, not “ng”.

Wait — perhaps “wrong”? w-r-o-n-g → fits: w r o ng → but “ng” is together.

Actually, likely intended word is orange — but spelling doesn’t fit.

Alternative: maybe “crong”? Not real.

Wait — perhaps it’s “strong”? s-t-r-o-n-g → still not matching.

Hold on — maybe it’s “during”? Too long.

Perhaps typo? Or maybe “ring” with extra letters?

Another idea: maybe it’s “prong”? p-r-o-n-g → yes!

p r o n g → so blanks: first = p? But instruction says write only vowels: a/e/i/o/u.

Ah! Important — we can ONLY use vowels: a, e, i, o, u.

So for “__ r __ ng __”, we must insert vowels only.

What word fits? Try: oring? Not real.

Wait — maybe “aring”? No.

Perhaps it’s “error”? Doesn’t fit.

Another thought: maybe it’s “during” — d-u-r-i-n-g → but starts with consonant.

Wait — perhaps the word is “orange” and they want us to put vowels where missing — but “orange” has ‘o’, ‘a’, ‘e’ — positions?

Let’s try: _ r _ n g _ → if we put o, a, e → o r a n g e → “orange” — YES!

So: first blank = o, second = a, third = e

Perfect.

Last one: bl __ __ → blue? b-l-u-e → two blanks → u, e

Or “black”? b-l-a-c-k — but only two blanks, and “ck” not there.

“Blue” fits: bl + u + e → u, e

Also “blew” — same vowels.

But “blue” is more common for kids.

Now back to first one: gr __ __ n → must be green → e, e

y __ ll __ w → yellow → e, o

r __ d → red → e

p __ nk → pink → i

__ r __ ng __ → orange → o, a, e

bl __ __ → blue → u, e

✔ All filled with vowels only.
