Here are the solutions for the Daily Language Review worksheets.
Wednesday
1. Correct these sentences.
*
Original: i werent their no cookies left
*
Correction: I wasn't there; no cookies were left.
*(Note: "I" must be capitalized. "Weren't" is plural, but "I" is singular, so use "wasn't." "Their" shows possession, but you need "there" for a place. You also need to separate the two thoughts with punctuation like a period or semicolon.)*
*
Original: why cant jerome never get here on time
*
Correction: Why can’t Jerome ever get here on time?
*(Note: Capitalize "Why" and "Jerome." Add an apostrophe to "can't." Use "ever" instead of "never" because "can't" is already negative. End with a question mark.)*
2. Complete this analogy.
*
Problem: height : inches :: weight : _______
*
Answer: pounds (or ounces/grams)
*(Reasoning: Inches measure height, so we need the unit that measures weight.)*
3. Where would the following probably take place?
*
Quote: The umpire yelled, “You’re out!”
*
Answer: A baseball game (or softball game).
4. Write the root word, or base word.
*
Word: illegal
*
Root Word: legal
*(Reasoning: The prefix "il-" means "not," so if you remove it, the base word is "legal.")*
***
Thursday
1. Circle the correct abbreviation for “ounce.”
*
Answer: oz.
2. What reference source would you use to find the meaning of “etiquette”?
*
Answer: A dictionary.
3. Correct these sentences.
*
Original: put connies ice skates in that there closet
*
Correction: Put Connie’s ice skates in that closet.
*(Reasoning: Capitalize "Put" and "Connie." Add an apostrophe to "Connie's" to show ownership. Remove "there" because "that closet" is enough.)*
*
Original: what time we we do at miss grissons recital
*
Correction: What time do we go to Miss Grisson’s recital?
*(Reasoning: Capitalize "What," "Miss," and "Grisson." Fix the grammar "we we do" to "do we go." Add an apostrophe to "Grisson's." End with a question mark.)*
4. Circle the words that have three syllables.
*
Words: vertical, equation, temperature, decorate
*
Analysis:
