Word to Definition Matching Worksheet 1 | All Kids Network - Free Printable

Let’s match each word on the left with its correct definition on the right. We’ll go one by one and think about what each word means.

1. agree — This means to have the same opinion or belief as someone else.
→ Look for “believe the same” → That’s D

2. calm — This means quiet, not upset, or peaceful.
→ “quiet and careful” fits best → That’s F

3. whisper — This is speaking very softly, quietly.
→ “a quiet voice, speak quietly” → That’s G

4. safe — This means not in danger.
→ “not in danger” → That’s E

5. gentle — This means soft, kind, not rough.
→ “soft and careful” → That’s H

6. believe — This means to think something is true.
→ “to think something is true” → That’s I

7. scattered — This means spread out in different places.
→ “spread around” → That’s C

8. frightened — This means scared. But none of the options say “scared.” Let’s check again… Wait — maybe we missed it? Actually, looking at the list:
A. picked up and brought along
B. saw something
C. spread around
D. believe the same
E. not in danger
F. quiet and careful
G. a quiet voice, speak quietly
H. soft and careful
I. to think something is true
J. scored

Hmm… “frightened” isn’t directly matched here. But wait — maybe there’s a mistake? Or perhaps we need to re-check. Actually, let’s look at #9 and #10 first.

Wait — maybe I made a mistake earlier. Let’s double-check all:

Actually, let’s try matching from the definitions too.

Look at B: “saw something” → that matches noticed (because when you notice something, you see it) → so #9 = B

J: “scored” → doesn’t match any obvious word yet. Maybe “carried”? No. “Carried” is more like “picked up and brought along” → A

So:

10. carried → A. picked up and brought along

Now back to 8. frightened — still no direct match. But wait — maybe “frightened” is not supposed to be matched? Or did we miss?

Wait — let’s list all words and definitions again carefully.

Words:
1. agree
2. calm
3. whisper
4. safe
5. gentle
6. believe
7. scattered
8. frightened
9. noticed
10. carried

Definitions:
A. picked up and brought along → carried → 10
B. saw something → noticed → 9
C. spread around → scattered → 7
D. believe the same → agree → 1
E. not in danger → safe → 4
F. quiet and careful → calm → 2
G. a quiet voice, speak quietly → whisper → 3
H. soft and careful → gentle → 5
I. to think something is true → believe → 6
J. scored → ???

Wait — “scored” doesn’t match any of the words listed. And “frightened” has no definition. That can’t be right.

Wait — maybe I misread. Let me check the original image description again.

In the user’s message, the definitions are:

A. picked up and brought along
B. saw something
C. spread around
D. believe the same
E. not in danger
F. quiet and careful
G. a quiet voice, speak quietly
H. soft and careful
I. to think something is true
J. scored

And words:

1. agree
2. calm
3. whisper
4. safe
5. gentle
6. believe
7. scattered
8. frightened
9. noticed
10. carried

“Frightened” should mean scared — but there’s no definition for scared. “Scored” is J — which might be a trick? Or maybe it’s a typo?

Wait — perhaps “frightened” is meant to be matched with nothing? But that doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively — maybe “frightened” is not supposed to be there? Or perhaps I need to reconsider.

Wait — let’s think: is there any definition that could fit “frightened”? None really. Unless... maybe “not in danger” is opposite? No.

Perhaps the worksheet has an error? But since this is a student task, likely I’m missing something.

Wait — let’s look at #8: frightened. Is there a definition that means “scared”? Not explicitly. But maybe “quiet and careful” could be if someone is frightened they act quietly? No, that’s stretching.

Another idea: perhaps “frightened” is matched with “saw something”? No, that’s noticed.

Wait — maybe “scored” is for “frightened”? That makes no sense.

Perhaps I should just match what clearly fits and leave #8 for now.

But let’s count: 10 words, 10 definitions. So every word must have a match.

Let me try assigning based on elimination.

We have:

- agree → D (believe the same) ✔
- calm → F (quiet and careful) ✔
- whisper → G (quiet voice) ✔
- safe → E (not in danger) ✔
- gentle → H (soft and careful) ✔
- believe → I (think something is true) ✔
- scattered → C (spread around) ✔
- noticed → B (saw something) ✔
- carried → A (picked up and brought along) ✔

That leaves:

Word 8: frightened
Definition J: scored

That doesn’t match. But perhaps in some contexts? Unlikely.

Wait — maybe “frightened” is a distractor? Or perhaps it’s a mistake in the worksheet.

But since this is a standard vocabulary match, and “frightened” typically means scared, and there’s no definition for scared, perhaps the intended match is missing.

However, looking back at the user’s input, in the image description, it says:

"8 ______ frightened"

and definitions include "J. scored"

This seems incorrect. But perhaps in the context of the lesson, “frightened” was taught with a specific meaning? Unlikely.

Another possibility: maybe “frightened” is meant to be matched with “not in danger”? But that’s the opposite.

Or perhaps “quiet and careful” — if you’re frightened, you might be quiet? But that’s weak.

Wait — let’s check online or common matches.

Actually, upon second thought, perhaps there’s a typo in the problem. But since we have to solve it as given, and all other matches are clear, maybe #8 is left unmatched? But that can’t be.

Wait — let’s read the definitions again carefully.

Definition J is “scored” — which usually means got points, like in a game. Doesn’t fit any word.

Unless “carried” is J? No, carried is A.

Perhaps “frightened” is not supposed to be there, and it’s a different word? But the user wrote “frightened”.

Another idea: maybe “frightened” is matched with “saw something” because when you’re frightened, you might have seen something scary? But that’s indirect.

I think there might be an error in the worksheet, but for the sake of completing the task, let’s assume that “frightened” is meant to be matched with the remaining definition, which is J, even though it doesn’t make sense. But that would be wrong.

Wait — let’s look at the order. Perhaps I misassigned.

List the matches we are sure of:

1. agree - D
2. calm - F
3. whisper - G
4. safe - E
5. gentle - H
6. believe - I
7. scattered - C
9. noticed - B
10. carried - A

That leaves 8. frightened and J. scored.

Since there’s no better option, and perhaps in the context of the class, “frightened” was associated with “scored” for some reason, but that seems unlikely.

Maybe “scored” is a red herring, and “frightened” should be matched with something else.

Let’s consider: is there a definition that means “scared”? None listed.

Perhaps “quiet and careful” is for frightened? But we already used that for calm.

Another thought: maybe “calm” is not F, but something else.

No, calm is definitely quiet and careful.

Perhaps “gentle” is not H, but H is soft and careful, which is good for gentle.

I think the only logical conclusion is that there is a mistake in the worksheet, but since we have to provide an answer, and all other matches are solid, for #8, we'll put J, even though it's incorrect, or perhaps leave it blank, but the instruction is to match.

Wait — let's count the definitions: A to J is 10, words 1 to 10 is 10.

Perhaps "frightened" is meant to be "frighten" or something else.

Upon double-checking common vocabulary matches, "frightened" should match with "scared", but it's not here.

Maybe in this worksheet, "frightened" is matched with "not in danger" as a trick, but that's opposite.

I recall that sometimes "frightened" can be associated with "quiet" if they are hiding, but that's not standard.

Perhaps the definition for "frightened" is missing, and "scored" is for another word.

Let's try swapping: suppose "carried" is J? But "scored" doesn't mean carried.

"Scored" can mean marked or achieved, not carried.

Another idea: perhaps "noticed" is J? But "saw something" is B, which is perfect for noticed.

I think I have to accept that for #8, the match is J, even though it's wrong, or perhaps the student is expected to know that "frightened" doesn't match any, but that's not how worksheets work.

Wait — let's look back at the user's message: in the image, it says "8 ______ frightened" and definitions include "J. scored".

Perhaps it's a typo, and "frightened" should be "framed" or "fired", but that's speculation.

Maybe "frightened" is matched with "believe the same"? No.

I found a possible solution: in some contexts, "frightened" might be linked to "saw something" if they saw something scary, but that's not direct.

Perhaps the intended match for "frightened" is not listed, but since we must choose, and J is left, we'll use J.

But that feels wrong.

Let's search for similar worksheets online mentally.

Upon thinking, I recall that in some elementary worksheets, "frightened" might be matched with "scared", but here it's not available.

Another possibility: definition F "quiet and careful" could be for frightened if they are being cautious, but we have calm for that.

Perhaps "calm" is not F, but let's see: calm means not excited, so quiet and careful is good.

I think I have to proceed with the matches that are clear and for #8, since J is the only one left, assign it, even though it's incorrect.

But that would be bad teaching.

Perhaps "scored" is for "carried", but "picked up and brought along" is better for carried.

Let's read definition A: "picked up and brought along" — that's carried.

J: "scored" — perhaps for "noticed"? But noticed is saw something.

I think there's a mistake, but for the sake of completing the task, I'll list the matches as per standard meanings, and for #8, leave it as J, noting the issue.

But the user wants the answer, so perhaps in the context, "frightened" is matched with J.

Wait — let's consider that "frightened" might be a distractor, and the real word is "frighten" or something, but no.

Another idea: perhaps "frightened" is meant to be "frightening", but still.

I recall that in some curricula, "frightened" is paired with "afraid", but not here.

Perhaps the definition "not in danger" is for safe, which is correct, and "frightened" is the opposite, so not matched.

I think I have to conclude that the match for 8 is J, as it's the only one left, even though it's semantically incorrect.

So final matches:

1. D
2. F
3. G
4. E
5. H
6. I
7. C
8. J
9. B
10. A

Even though 8-J is wrong, it's the only option.

Perhaps "scored" is a typo for "scared", which would make sense for frightened.

That must be it! Probably a typo in the worksheet, and "J. scored" should be "J. scared".

In that case, 8. frightened -> J. scared.

That makes perfect sense.

So I'll assume that "scored" is a typo and should be "scared".

Therefore, 8. frightened -> J

With that assumption, all matches are correct.

So the answers are:

1. D
2. F
3. G
4. E
5. H
6. I
7. C
8. J
9. B
10. A

Yes, that works.

Final Answer:
1. D
2. F
3. G
4. E
5. H
6. I
7. C
8. J
9. B
10. A
