21 English Worksheets For Grade 1 That Grab Kids Attention - The ... - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank with the correct word from the box. The words all have “ou” in them, and we need to pick the one that makes sense in each sentence.

Here are the words again:
- out
- about
- loud
- found
- count
- sound
- mouse
- Our

Now let’s look at each sentence:

1. The cat can see a ______.
What do cats often see? A small animal… like a mouse!
→ Answer: mouse

2. It was a ______ bang!
A bang is a noise — so what kind of noise? A loud one!
→ Answer: loud

3. Jill can ______ to a hundred.
You “count” numbers — 1, 2, 3... up to 100.
→ Answer: count

4. Tiz looks at a book ______ sharks.
If the book is *about* something, it means the topic is sharks.
→ Answer: about

5. Jaz went ______ in the garden.
“Went out” means left the house to go outside — perfect for a garden.
→ Answer: out

6. ______ house is the best!
This is talking about “our” house — meaning the speaker and their family or friends.
→ Answer: Our

7. I ______ a mouse in my house.
Past tense — you discovered or saw it → found.
→ Answer: found

8. May will ______ the crayons.
What do you do with crayons? Maybe make a noise? No — wait, “sound” doesn’t fit. But “count” could work if she’s counting them. Wait — already used “count”. Let’s check again.

Wait — did we use “sound”? Not yet. But “May will sound the crayons” doesn’t make sense. Hmm.

Actually — maybe “count” is still available? Let’s double-check which words we’ve used:

Used so far:
1. mouse ✔
2. loud ✔
3. count ✔ ← oh no, we used “count” already in #3!

But #8 says “May will ______ the crayons.” What else fits?

Wait — perhaps I made a mistake. Let’s reassign carefully.

Let me list the sentences again and assign without repeating:

Words: out, about, loud, found, count, sound, mouse, Our (8 words, 8 sentences)

Sentence 1: The cat can see a ______. → mouse ✔️
Sentence 2: It was a ______ bang! → loud ✔️
Sentence 3: Jill can ______ to a hundred. → count ✔️
Sentence 4: Tiz looks at a book ______ sharks. → about ✔️
Sentence 5: Jaz went ______ in the garden. → out ✔️
Sentence 6: ______ house is the best! → Our ✔️
Sentence 7: I ______ a mouse in my house. → found ✔️
Sentence 8: May will ______ the crayons. → Only word left is sound? But “sound the crayons” doesn’t make sense.

Wait — maybe “count” should be in #8? But #3 needs “count”.

Hold on — perhaps “sound” is not right. Let’s think differently.

Maybe #8 is “May will count the crayons” — but then #3 would need another word.

Is there another word for #3? “Jill can ______ to a hundred.” Could it be “sound”? No. “Loud”? No. “Out”? No.

Wait — perhaps I misread #8. “May will ______ the crayons.” Maybe it’s “find”? But “found” is past tense. “Find” isn’t in the list.

Wait — the word “sound” might be a trick. Or maybe it’s “make a sound with the crayons”? That’s stretching it.

Alternatively — perhaps “count” is meant for #8, and #3 uses something else? But nothing else fits #3.

Let me check the original image description again — the user said the words are:

out, about, loud, found, count, sound, mouse, Our

And sentences 1–8.

Perhaps “sound” is for #8 as in “May will [make a] sound [with] the crayons” — but that’s awkward.

Wait — maybe it’s “May will sound the crayons” meaning test them? Unlikely for a child’s worksheet.

Another idea: Perhaps “count” is for #8, and #3 is “Jill can loud to a hundred”? No, that’s nonsense.

Wait — let’s look at sentence 7: “I ______ a mouse in my house.” We put “found” — that’s good.

Sentence 8: “May will ______ the crayons.” The only unused word after assigning the first seven is “sound”.

But that doesn’t make sense. Unless...

Wait — maybe I assigned wrong earlier.

Let’s try this:

What if sentence 3 is “Jill can sound to a hundred”? No.

Or sentence 8: “May will count the crayons” — that makes perfect sense.

Then what goes in sentence 3? “Jill can ______ to a hundred.” Still needs “count”.

Unless... is there a typo? Or perhaps “sound” is not needed?

Wait — let’s count the words: 8 words, 8 blanks. Must use all.

Perhaps “sound” is for sentence 2? “It was a sound bang!” — no, “loud bang” is better.

Another thought: Sentence 4 — “book about sharks” — good.

Sentence 5 — “went out” — good.

Sentence 6 — “Our house” — good.

Sentence 7 — “I found” — good.

Sentence 1 — “see a mouse” — good.

That leaves sentence 3 and 8.

Sentence 3: Jill can ______ to a hundred. → must be “count”

Sentence 8: May will ______ the crayons. → only “sound” left.

But “sound the crayons” is odd. Unless it’s “May will [listen to the] sound [of] the crayons” — but that’s not grammatical.

Wait — perhaps it’s “May will make a sound with the crayons” — but the blank is just one word.

I think there might be a mistake in my initial assignment.

Let me try swapping:

What if sentence 8 is “May will count the crayons” — that’s logical.

Then sentence 3: “Jill can ______ to a hundred.” What else? “Loud”? No. “Out”? No. “About”? No. “Found”? No. “Mouse”? No. “Our”? No. “Sound”? “Jill can sound to a hundred” — doesn’t make sense.

Unless “sound” means something else? Like “ring a bell”? Not for counting.

Perhaps the word “count” is intended for both? But we can’t repeat.

Wait — let’s read the instructions: “Find the missing words to complete these sentences.” And the box has 8 words for 8 sentences. So each word used once.

Perhaps “sound” is for sentence 2: “It was a sound bang!” — but “loud” is better.

Another idea: Sentence 7 — “I ______ a mouse in my house.” Could it be “heard a sound”? But the sentence says “a mouse”, not “a sound”.

The sentence is “I ______ a mouse”, so verb + object. “Found” is perfect.

Perhaps sentence 8 is “May will find the crayons” — but “find” isn’t in the list; “found” is, but that’s past tense, and “will” requires base verb.

“Will found” is incorrect grammar.

So “will” + base verb: count, sound, find, etc.

“Count” is base verb, “sound” is base verb.

“Found” is past tense, so can’t be used with “will”.

In sentence 7, “I found” is past tense, which is fine.

For sentence 8, “May will ______” — needs base verb.

From the list, base verbs are: out (not a verb here), about (preposition), loud (adjective), found (past), count (verb), sound (verb), mouse (noun), Our (pronoun).

So possible verbs for #8: count, sound.

“Count the crayons” makes sense.

“Sound the crayons” does not.

Therefore, likely, “count” should be in #8, and #3 must use another word.

But what word fits #3? “Jill can ______ to a hundred.”

Only “count” fits.

Unless... is “sound” being used as “to produce sound”, but “sound to a hundred” doesn't mean anything.

Perhaps it's a trick, and "sound" is for #2, and "loud" for something else.

Let's try:

Sentence 2: "It was a ______ bang!" — "loud" is best, but let's try "sound": "It was a sound bang!" — possible, but less common. Usually "loud bang".

Sentence 8: "May will ______ the crayons." — if we put "sound", it's bad.

Another possibility: Perhaps "out" for #8? "May will out the crayons" — no.

I think there might be an error in the worksheet or my reasoning.

Let's look online or think differently.

Wait — perhaps "sound" is for sentence 4? "book sound sharks" — no.

Or sentence 5: "Jaz went sound in the garden" — no.

I recall that in some contexts, "sound" can mean "test" or "measure depth", but not for crayons.

Perhaps it's "May will make a sound with the crayons", but the blank is for one word, and "sound" alone doesn't work.

Let's consider that "count" might be used in #8, and for #3, maybe it's "Jill can loud to a hundred" — impossible.

Unless the word is "call" or something, but not in list.

I think I have to accept that "sound" is for #8, even if it's awkward, or perhaps it's a mistake.

But let's check the number of underscores.

In the user's message, for sentence 8: "May will ________ the crayons." — how many underscores? In the text, it's written as "________" which might be 8 characters, but in the image, it might match the word length.

Looking back at the user's input:

"8. May will ________ the crayons."

In the original problem, the blanks have underscores indicating the number of letters.

Let me check the user's text:

1. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 underscores) — "mouse" is 5 letters? Wait, "mouse" is 5, but 7 underscores? That doesn't match.

In the user's message:

"1. The cat can see a _ _ _ _ _ _ _." — that's 7 underscores.

"mouse" has 5 letters. Problem.

Similarly, "2. It was a _ _ _ _ _ bang!" — 5 underscores, "loud" is 4 letters.

This suggests that the underscores may not exactly match letter count, or perhaps it's a formatting issue.

In the actual image, the blanks might be sized to fit the word, not necessarily one underscore per letter.

In many worksheets, they use a line or a series of underscores that don't correspond to letter count.

So probably, we should ignore the number of underscores and focus on meaning.

Given that, let's assign based on meaning:

1. mouse
2. loud
3. count
4. about
5. out
6. Our
7. found
8. sound — even though it's odd, it's the only one left.

But "May will sound the crayons" — perhaps it means she will tap them to hear the sound? In a creative way, it could work for children.

Maybe "sound" is a verb meaning to cause to make a sound.

For example, "sound the alarm" — so "sound the crayons" could mean make them make a noise, like shaking them.

It's a stretch, but possible.

Perhaps there's a better fit.

Another idea: Sentence 7 — "I ______ a mouse in my house." Could it be "heard a sound"? But the sentence says "a mouse", not "a sound".

The object is "a mouse", so the verb must take "a mouse" as object. "Found" is correct.

I think we have to go with "sound" for #8.

So final assignments:

1. mouse
2. loud
3. count
4. about
5. out
6. Our
7. found
8. sound

Even though #8 is a bit forced, it's the only option.

Perhaps in the context of the lesson, "sound" is being taught as a verb.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer:
1. mouse
2. loud
3. count
4. about
5. out
6. Our
7. found
8. sound
