Basic Conversation worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve the task step by step. We are given a list of words to use:

Words in the box:
ALL, IS, MEET, NAME'S, NICE, THIS, TOO, YOU, WELCOME, WHAT'S

We need to fill in the blanks in three conversations using these words appropriately.

---

Conversation 1

Natasha: Hi, my (1) __________ Natasha.
→ This is a common way to introduce oneself: "My name's [Name]."
So, (1) = NAME'S

Khalid: Pleased to (2) __________ you. I'm Khalid Ali.
→ "Pleased to meet you" is a standard greeting.
So, (2) = MEET

Natasha: Pleased to meet you, (3) __________.
→ She’s responding to Khalid, so she says “Pleased to meet you too.”
So, (3) = TOO

✔ So far:
(1) NAME'S
(2) MEET
(3) TOO

---

Conversation 2

Philip: Good morning. (4) __________ your name?
→ Asking someone's name: "What's your name?"
So, (4) = WHAT'S

Ahmed: I'm Ahmed. And (5) __________ are?
→ The natural follow-up is "And what about you?" or "And you?" But here, it's asking for Philip's name.
The correct phrase is: "And yours?" but that's not in the box.
Wait — we have YOU and IS, so likely: "And you?" but that doesn't fit grammatically.
But wait — the full sentence is: "And (5) __________ are?"
This is a shortened form of "And what is your name?" → "And what's your name?" but "what's" is already used.
Alternatively, it could be: "And this are?" — no.
Wait — actually, the correct expression is: "And you?" — but again, not grammatical.

But look: "And you?" isn’t complete. However, the intended structure is:
"And your name?" — but that’s not in the box.

Wait — perhaps it's: "And you?" — but that would be incorrect.

Wait — actually, the correct and common phrase is:
"I’m Ahmed. And you?" — but that’s not a full sentence.

But here, the blank is followed by "are?" — so: "And (5) __________ are?"
So, "And you are?" → "And you are?" — that’s awkward.

But consider: "And this are?" — no.

Wait — maybe it's: "What's your name?" was asked earlier, so now Ahmed replies and asks back:
"I'm Ahmed. And what's your name?" — but "what's" is already used.

Wait — the word WHAT'S is already used in (4). So can’t reuse?

But actually, we can reuse words if needed. But let’s check: the instruction says “with the words in the box” — doesn’t say only once.

But let’s think differently.

Actually, the most logical answer is:
Ahmed says: "I'm Ahmed. And you?" — but the blank is followed by "are?" — so it must be:
"And you are?" — which is odd.

Wait — perhaps it's: "And your name?" — but that’s not in the box.

Wait — maybe it's: "And this is?" — no.

Wait — perhaps it’s: "And what's your name?" — but "what's" is already used.

But maybe we can reuse.

But let’s look at the next line:
Philip: My name’s Philip. (6) __________ to meet you.
→ "Nice to meet you" is the standard response.
So, (6) = NICE

Now going back:
Ahmed says: "I'm Ahmed. And (5) __________ are?"
If Philip answers with "My name’s Philip", then Ahmed must have asked: "And what's your name?" — so (5) = WHAT'S

But (4) is already "WHAT'S your name?" — so both (4) and (5) would be "WHAT'S"? That seems redundant.

Wait — no. Let’s read carefully.

Philip: Good morning. (4) __________ your name?
→ So (4) = WHAT'S

Ahmed: I'm Ahmed. And (5) __________ are?
→ Now, Ahmed is asking Philip's name. So he should say: "And what's your name?" — so (5) = WHAT'S

But we're allowed to reuse words, right? The box has one copy, but often in such exercises, words can be reused unless stated otherwise.

But let’s see: the word WHAT'S appears only once in the box, but maybe it's acceptable.

Alternatively, could it be YOU?

Wait — "And you are?" — that’s not natural.

Another possibility: "And this is?" — no.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is: "And you?" — but the blank is before "are?" — so it must be a subject.

So: "And (5) __________ are?" → subject + verb

Possible subjects: THIS, YOU, ALL

- "And this are?" — wrong grammar
- "And you are?" — possible, but incomplete
- "And all are?" — doesn’t make sense

Wait — perhaps it's: "And your name?" — but not in the box.

Wait — another idea: IS?

"Is" is a verb — "And is are?" — no.

Wait — maybe the sentence is: "And you?" — but again, "are?" is there.

Perhaps it's a typo? Or maybe it's meant to be: "And what's your name?" — so (5) = WHAT'S

Even though (4) is also "WHAT'S", it's acceptable because it's repeated.

But let’s look at the context.

Alternatively, could (5) be YOU?

"Ahmed: I'm Ahmed. And you are?" — this is awkward.

But in informal speech, people say "And you?" — but here it's "are?"

So probably: WHAT'S

Yes, I think it’s safe to use WHAT'S again.

But let’s check the word list: only one WHAT'S, but maybe it’s okay.

Alternatively, maybe the intended answer is YOU — but that doesn’t work grammatically.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is: "And you?" — and "are?" is part of the previous sentence? No.

No, it's clearly: "And (5) __________ are?"

So: "And you are?" — that’s not natural.

Wait — perhaps it’s: "And this is?" — no.

Wait — maybe it’s: "And name's?" — no.

Wait — perhaps the blank is for YOUR, but "your" is not in the box.

Wait — the box has: ALL, IS, MEET, NAME'S, NICE, THIS, TOO, YOU, WELCOME, WHAT'S

So YOU is in the box.

But "And you are?" — that’s not correct.

Unless it’s: "And you?" — but the text says "are?"

So likely, it’s WHAT'S

I think it’s acceptable to reuse WHAT'S.

So (5) = WHAT'S

Then (6) = NICE

✔ So:
(4) WHAT'S
(5) WHAT'S
(6) NICE

But that uses WHAT'S twice — is that allowed?

Possibly. Sometimes in exercises, words can be reused.

But let’s see if there’s another option.

Wait — perhaps (5) is YOU?

But "And you are?" — still awkward.

Wait — another possibility: "And this is?" — no.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is: "And you?" — and "are?" is a typo? Unlikely.

Alternatively, maybe it’s: "And is your name?" — but that would be "And is your name?" — but Ahmed says "I'm Ahmed", so he wouldn’t ask that.

No.

I think WHAT'S is the best choice.

So (5) = WHAT'S

(6) = NICE

Conversation 3

Tim: Hi everybody, (7) __________ is Ingrid.
→ Introducing someone: "This is Ingrid."
So, (7) = THIS

All: Hi!

Tim: Ingrid, this (8) __________ Ahmed, Linda, Mohammed and Mansoor.
→ "This is..." for introducing multiple people.
But "this" is singular, and he's introducing several people.

So it should be: "This is Ahmed, Linda, Mohammed and Mansoor." — even though plural, "this is" is used for introducing a group.

So (8) = IS

Ingrid: Nice meeting you (9) __________.
→ "Nice meeting you all." — when addressing a group.
So (9) = ALL

Linda: Likewise.

Tim: (10) __________ to the team and good luck.
→ "Welcome to the team" is standard.
So (10) = WELCOME

Check Word Usage:

Words in box:
- ALL ✔ (used in 9)
- IS ✔ (used in 8)
- MEET ✔ (used in 2)
- NAME'S ✔ (used in 1)
- NICE ✔ (used in 6)
- THIS ✔ (used in 7)
- TOO ✔ (used in 3)
- YOU ✔ (not used?)
- WELCOME ✔ (used in 10)
- WHAT'S ✔ (used in 4 and 5)

Wait — YOU is not used! But it's in the box.

Is that a problem?

Let’s check: Is YOU used anywhere?

In Conversation 1: "Pleased to meet you" — "you" is in the sentence, but not in the blank.

Similarly, in others: "meet you", "to meet you", etc.

But the blanks are only where we need to insert from the box.

So YOU is not required in any blank.

But it’s in the box — does that mean it must be used?

Possibly — but sometimes not all words are used.

But let’s see: is there a blank where YOU could go?

In Conversation 2:
Ahmed: "I'm Ahmed. And (5) __________ are?"
We filled it with WHAT'S, but could it be YOU?

"Ahmed: I'm Ahmed. And you are?" — this is grammatically incorrect.

It should be: "And what's your name?" — so WHAT'S is better.

But perhaps the intended answer is YOU?

Wait — maybe the sentence is: "And you?" — but it's written as "are?" — so it must be a subject.

"You are?" — but that’s not a question.

"Are you?" — but that’s not the same.

So no.

Perhaps in (5), it's YOU, but the sentence is: "And you are?" — which is not natural.

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is: "And you?" — and "are?" is separate — but it's not.

So I think WHAT'S is correct.

But then YOU is unused.

But in the conversation, "you" appears in the sentences, but not in the blanks.

So maybe it's okay — not all words need to be used.

But let’s double-check.

Wait — in Conversation 1:
"Khalid: Pleased to (2) _______ you." — so "you" is present, but not a blank.

Similarly, "Natasha: Pleased to meet you, (3) ________." — "you" is there.

So YOU is not needed in a blank.

So it’s acceptable that YOU is not used.

But let’s see if there’s a mistake.

Wait — in Conversation 2:
Philip: "Good morning. (4) _________ your name?"
→ "What's your name?" — so (4) = WHAT'S

Ahmed: "I'm Ahmed. And (5) _________ are?"
→ If we say "And you?" — but it’s "are?" — so it must be a subject.

Could it be THIS? "And this are?" — no.

Or ALL? "And all are?" — no.

Only possibility is WHAT'S — even though it's repeated.

Alternatively, maybe the blank is for YOUR, but it’s not in the box.

So I think WHAT'S is correct.

Thus, YOU is not used — but that’s okay.

- (9) "Nice meeting you all" — addressing a group.
- (10) "Welcome to the team" — welcoming new member.

Even though YOU is in the box, it's not required in any blank, so it remains unused. All other words are used appropriately.
