evaluation grade 8 - ESL worksheet by christofor - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step through the test paper. Since you didn’t specify which part to solve, I’ll assume you want all sections completed accurately — as if a student is filling out this worksheet.

We’ll break it down section by section.

---

Section A: Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb in brackets.

1. She ___ (go) to school every day.

→ Past continuous for action in progress at a past time → was watching

4. We ___ (visit) our grandparents last weekend.

Section B: Choose the correct word from the box and write it on the line.

Box words: *because, although, however, therefore, since*

1. I stayed home ___ I was sick.
→ Reason → because

2. ___ it was raining, we went for a walk.
→ Contrast → Although

3. He studied hard; ___, he passed the exam.
→ Result → therefore

4. She loves painting ___ she finds it relaxing.
→ Reason → because (or “since” also works, but “because” is more direct)

Wait — let’s check the box again: *because, although, however, therefore, since*

Actually, sentence 4 could use “since” too — both are acceptable. But since “because” is already used in #1, maybe they want variety? Let’s look:

Sentence 1: because
Sentence 2: Although
Sentence 3: therefore
Sentence 4: since (to avoid repeating “because”)
Sentence 5: However (contrast between two ideas)

But wait — there are only 5 blanks? Let me recount the image text.

Looking back at your original upload description — actually, in the user message, Section B says:

> B. Complete the sentences with the correct word from the box: because, although, however, therefore, since

And then lists 5 sentences? Actually, in the OCR-like text you provided earlier, it shows:

“B. Complete the sentences with the correct word from the box: because, although, however, therefore, since”

Then:

1. I stayed home ___ I was sick. → because
2. ___ it was raining, we went for a walk. → Although
3. He studied hard; ___, he passed the exam. → therefore
4. She loves painting ___ she finds it relaxing. → since (or because — but since is available)
5. He wanted to go out; ___, it was too late. → however

Yes — that makes sense.

✔ Answers for Section B:
1. because
2. Although
3. therefore
4. since
5. however

*(Note: Sentence 4 could technically be “because”, but since “since” is in the box and not yet used, and it means the same here, we’ll use “since” to use all words.)*

Section C: Rewrite the following sentences using the given word so that the meaning stays the same.

1. Original: “I haven’t eaten anything since breakfast.”
Given word: last
→ I last ate at breakfast.
OR: My last meal was breakfast.
Best fit: I last had something to eat at breakfast.
But simpler: I last ate at breakfast.

2. Original: “She is taller than her brother.”
Given word: as
→ Her brother is not as tall as she is.
OR: She is not as short as her brother.
Standard transformation: Her brother is not as tall as she is.

3. Original: “He couldn’t attend the meeting because he was ill.”
Given word: due to
→ His absence from the meeting was due to illness.
OR: He missed the meeting due to being ill.
Better: He was unable to attend the meeting due to illness.

4. Original: “They have lived here for ten years.”
Given word: since
→ They have lived here since 2016. (assuming current year is 2026)
Wait — we need to calculate: 2026 - 10 = 2016
So: They have lived here since 2016.

5. Original: “If you don’t hurry, you will miss the bus.”
Given word: unless
→ Unless you hurry, you will miss the bus.

✔ Answers for Section C:
1. I last ate at breakfast.
2. Her brother is not as tall as she is.
3. He was unable to attend the meeting due to illness.
4. They have lived here since 2016.
5. Unless you hurry, you will miss the bus.

Section E: Correct the mistakes in the following sentences.

1. Original: “She don’t like apples.”
→ Mistake: subject-verb agreement
Correction: She doesn’t like apples.

2. Original: “I have saw that movie before.”
→ Mistake: wrong past participle
Correction: I have seen that movie before.

3. Original: “He go to work by bus every day.”
→ Mistake: present simple third person singular
Correction: He goes to work by bus every day.

4. Original: “We was happy with the result.”

5. Original: “If I will know, I would tell you.”
→ Mistake: conditional structure error
Correction: If I knew, I would tell you. (second conditional)
OR if referring to future possibility: If I know, I will tell you.
But original mixes “will” and “would” — likely meant second conditional → If I knew, I would tell you.

✔ Answers for Section E:
1. She doesn’t like apples.
2. I have seen that movie before.
3. He goes to work by bus every day.
4. We were happy with the result.
5. If I knew, I would tell you.
