Bike safety interactive worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this homework problem.

We are told:
→ Use must or mustn’t + a verb from the box:
wear, ride, check, use, listen, wear (note: “wear” appears twice — that’s okay)

The topic is BIKE SAFETY, so we’re giving rules about what you should or shouldn’t do when riding a bike.

---

Looking at each sentence:

a. Already done: *You must check the brakes regularly.* ✔

b. You ______ bright colors.
→ This is about safety — wearing bright colors helps others see you. So it’s something you should do → use must.
Verb from box: wear
→ Answer: You must wear bright colors.

c. You ______ on busy roads.
→ Riding on busy roads is dangerous for beginners or without supervision. So this is likely a rule saying you should not do it → use mustn’t.
Verb from box: ride
→ Answer: You mustn’t ride on busy roads.

d. (Pointing to helmet) You ______ a helmet.
→ Wearing a helmet is super important for safety → must.
Verb: wear
→ Answer: You must wear a helmet.

e. You ______ to music.
→ Listening to music while biking can be distracting and unsafe → mustn’t.
Verb: listen
→ Answer: You mustn’t listen to music.

f. (Pointing to reflector/light on bike) You ______ lights/reflectors? Wait — looking at image, it points to front light/reflector area. The verb left is use.
→ You should use lights or reflectors for visibility → must.
→ Answer: You must use lights. (or “use a bell”? But “use” fits best with equipment.)

Wait — let’s double-check verbs used:

Used so far:
- b: wear
- c: ride
- d: wear (again — allowed since it’s in box twice)
- e: listen
- f: ? → only “check”, “use” left? But “check” was already used in (a). Box has: wear, ride, check, use, listen, wear → so “use” is still available.

Actually, (f) points to the front of the bike — probably headlight or reflector. So “use” makes sense.

But wait — maybe “check” again? No, (a) already used “check”. And “use” hasn’t been used yet except possibly here.

Alternatively, could (f) be “use a bell”? Possible, but “use” alone works if context implies equipment.

Actually, looking back — all sentences need one verb from the box. Let’s list unused verbs after assigning:

Assigned:
- a: check
- b: wear
- c: ride
- d: wear (second time — ok)
- e: listen
- f: ??? Only “use” remains unused.

So yes — f must be “use”.

What does “use” refer to? Probably lights or reflectors — common bike safety item.

So: You must use lights. Or more generally, You must use safety equipment. But since the sentence just says “______”, and no object given, perhaps it’s implied.

Wait — look at the original worksheet layout:

In (a), it says: “You must check the brakes regularly.” → includes object.

In (b): “bright colors” → object given.

In (c): “on busy roads” → prepositional phrase.

In (e): “to music” → object given.

So for (d), (f) — they don’t have objects written — meaning the verb might include the object implicitly? Or perhaps the picture tells us.

(d) points to helmet → so “wear a helmet” — but the blank is only for verb + must/mustn’t, and the rest is implied? Actually, looking at the format:

Each box has:
“You ___ ________ [optional words]”

For example, (b) says: “You ________ bright colors.” → so we fill in “must wear”

Similarly, (d) says: “d ________” — no extra text — so we write full phrase including object? But instructions say: “complete with must or mustn’t and a verb from the box”

Hmm — re-read instruction: “Complete with must or mustn’t and a verb from the box.”

It doesn’t say we can add other words — but in (a), they added “the brakes regularly” — which wasn’t in the box.

Actually, looking closely:

In (a): “You must check the brakes regularly.” — “check” is from box, rest is added.

Same pattern elsewhere.

So for (d): pointing to helmet → we can say “You must wear a helmet.” — even though “helmet” isn’t in box, it’s part of completing the sentence logically.

But wait — the instruction says: “and a verb from the box” — implying we pick one verb and combine with must/mustn’t, and complete the sentence as needed.

Looking at examples:

(a) completed as: “You must check the brakes regularly.” — so we added “the brakes regularly”

(b) “You ________ bright colors.” → we add “must wear”

(c) “You ________ on busy roads.” → “mustn’t ride”

(d) “d ________” — no prompt — so we write full sentence: “You must wear a helmet.”

(e) “You ________ to music.” → “mustn’t listen”

(f) “f ________” — no prompt — points to front light/reflector → “You must use lights.” or “You must use a bell.” — but “use” is the verb.

Since “use” is the only verb left, and it’s general, we’ll go with “You must use lights.” — assuming standard bike safety.

But actually, in many curricula, “use a bell” is also taught. However, “lights” are more critical for visibility.

Alternatively, maybe “check” again? But “check” was used in (a), and box has only one “check”.

Box: wear, ride, check, use, listen, wear → six items, six blanks — perfect match.

So assignments:

a: check → done
b: wear → must wear
c: ride → mustn’t ride
d: wear → must wear (helmet)
e: listen → mustn’t listen
f: use → must use (lights/equipment)

Yes.

Now, writing final answers clearly:

b: You must wear bright colors.
c: You mustn’t ride on busy roads.
d: You must wear a helmet.
e: You mustn’t listen to music.
f: You must use lights. (or “safety gear”, but “lights” is specific and common)

To be precise, since the picture shows a front light, “lights” is fine.

Final verification:

All verbs from box used exactly once?
wear (b), ride (c), check (a), use (f), listen (e), wear (d) — yes, both “wear” used.

Must/mustn’t appropriate?
b: must wear — correct (safety)
c: mustn’t ride — correct (dangerous)
d: must wear — correct (helmet law/safety)
e: mustn’t listen — correct (distraction)
f: must use — correct (visibility)

Perfect.
