I'll solve this "Digraphs and Blends: ng & nk" worksheet by completing each word with either "ng" or "nk". Let me go through each row systematically.
First, look closely: I need to examine each incomplete word and determine whether it should end with "ng" or "nk" to form a valid English word. I'll work through the grid row by row.
Let me start with the first row:
- bri__ → This should be "bring" (using "ng")
- thi__ → This should be "think" (using "nk")
- ski__ → This should be "skin" (using "nk")
Second row:
- sta__ → This should be "stank" (using "nk") or "sting" (using "ng") - both are valid, but "stank" is more common in this context
- goi__ → This should be "going" (using "ng")
- clu__ → This should be "clunk" (using "nk")
Third row:
- tru__ → This should be "trunk" (using "nk")
- sti__ → This should be "sting" (using "ng")
- dra__ → This should be "drank" (using "nk")
Fourth row:
- alo__ → This should be "along" (using "ng")
- usi__ → This should be "using" (using "ng")
- bla__ → This should be "blank" (using "nk")
Fifth row:
- pla__ → This should be "plank" (using "nk")
- bli__ → This should be "blink" (using "nk")
- pro__ → This should be "prong" (using "ng")
Sixth row:
- wro__ → This should be "wrong" (using "ng")
- wri__ → This should be "wring" (using "ng")
- shri__ → This should be "shrink" (using "nk")
Seventh row:
- you__ → This should be "young" (using "ng")
- sku__ → This should be "skunk" (using "nk")
- cli__ → This should be "clink" (using "nk")
Now I'll provide the complete solution:
The completed words are:
- bring, think, skin
- stank, going, clunk
- trunk, sting, drank
- along, using, blank
- plank, blink, prong
- wrong, wring, shrink
- young, skunk, clink
This completes the worksheet by filling in each blank with either "ng" or "nk" to form valid English words.
