Compound words worksheets for grade 1 | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task is to form compound words by pairing the words from the left column with the words from the right column. Compound words are created when two or more words are combined to form a new word with a distinct meaning.

Solution:

#### Step 1: Understand the Task
We need to pair words from the left column with words from the right column to form valid compound words. The goal is to ensure that each pair creates a meaningful compound word.

#### Step 2: Analyze the Words
- Left Column: every, good, some, base, out, grand
- Right Column: one, side, mother, bye, thing, ball

#### Step 3: Form Compound Words
Let's match the words logically:

1. every + one → everyone (a single person)
2. good + bye → goodbye (a farewell expression)
3. some + thing → something (an unspecified object or matter)
4. base + ball → baseball (a popular sport)
5. out + side → outside (the area beyond a boundary)
6. grand + mother → grandmother (a maternal grandmother)

#### Step 4: Verify the Pairings
Each pairing forms a valid and commonly used compound word in English.

#### Final Answer:
```
every - one → everyone
good - bye → goodbye
some - thing → something
base - ball → baseball
out - side → outside
grand - mother → grandmother
```

Explanation:

- Everyone: Refers to all people.
- Goodbye: A common farewell expression.
- Something: Refers to an unspecified object or matter.
- Baseball: A well-known sport played with a bat and a ball.
- Outside: Refers to the area beyond a boundary or indoors.
- Grandmother: Refers to a maternal grandmother.

Final Boxed Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\text{everyone, goodbye, something, baseball, outside, grandmother}
}
