Grade 4: Vocabulary Worksheets Week 3 - Lets Share Knowledge - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to fix grammar mistakes — like wrong verb tenses, missing words, or incorrect word order. If a sentence is already correct, we write “OK”.

---

1. Joe and Maria has been married for ten years

→ “Joe and Maria” = two people → plural subject
→ So we need “have”, not “has”
✔ Corrected: Joe and Maria have been married for ten years.

---

2. The girl with the black and white dress had a fun time

→ This sentence looks okay at first glance.
But let’s check:
- Subject: “The girl” (singular)
- Verb: “had” (past tense, matches singular subject)
- Object: “a fun time” — this is acceptable in informal English, though some might prefer “a good time” or “fun”, but it’s not grammatically wrong.
→ Actually, “had a fun time” is commonly used and accepted.
✔ So: OK

*(Note: Some strict teachers might say “fun” shouldn’t be used as an adjective before “time”, but in modern usage, especially in school-level grammar, it’s often accepted. Since the instruction says “if already correct, write OK”, and there’s no clear error, we’ll mark it OK.)*

Wait — let me double-check. Is “had a fun time” grammatically correct?

Actually, “fun” is primarily a noun. Using it as an adjective (“fun time”) is colloquial. In formal grammar, you’d say “a good time” or “an enjoyable time”. But many style guides now accept “fun” as an adjective in casual contexts.

However, since this is a grammar exercise, and if we’re being strict, maybe it should be corrected.

But looking again — the sentence doesn’t have any *clear* grammatical error like subject-verb agreement or tense mismatch. It’s more about style.

Given that, and since the problem likely expects us to catch obvious errors, I think we can leave it as OK.

BUT — wait! Let’s look at the original: “The girl with the black and white dress had a fun time”

Is “black and white dress” correctly hyphenated? When describing a dress that is both black and white, we usually don’t hyphenate unless it’s a compound modifier before a noun — here it’s fine.

Actually, I think it’s safe to say: OK

---

3. I couldn’t care less if she doesn’t want to go with me

→ “Couldn’t care less” is a common phrase meaning “I don’t care at all.”
→ The structure is correct: past modal “couldn’t” + base verb “care”
→ Conditional clause: “if she doesn’t want...” — present tense after “if” is correct for real conditions
→ No grammar error here.
✔ OK

*(Note: Some people mistakenly say “could care less”, which means the opposite — but here it’s “couldn’t”, so it’s correct.)*

4. Does anyone know who’s backpack this is?

→ “who’s” = contraction of “who is” or “who has”
→ Here, we need possessive: “whose” (belonging to whom)
Wrong: “who’s” → ✔ Should be: “whose”
✔ Corrected: Does anyone know whose backpack this is?

5. I’ve have that flower grows all it’s colors on a sunny day

This sentence has multiple errors.

First: “I’ve have” → “I’ve” = “I have”, so “I’ve have” = “I have have” → redundant
→ Should be just “I have”

Second: “that flower grows all it’s colors”
→ “it’s” = “it is” or “it has” → we need possessive: “its” (no apostrophe)
→ Also, flowers don’t “grow colors” — they “show” or “display” colors. But maybe we’re supposed to fix only grammar, not logic?
→ However, “grows all its colors” is awkward. Perhaps it meant “shows all its colors”?

But let’s stick to grammar fixes unless the meaning is broken.

Also, “all it’s colors” → should be “all its colors”

And “on a sunny day” — that part is fine.

So:

Original: “I’ve have that flower grows all it’s colors on a sunny day”

Fixes:
- Remove extra “have” → “I have”
- Change “it’s” to “its”
- Maybe change “grows” to “shows”? But if we’re only fixing grammar, perhaps leave “grows” — though it’s semantically odd.

Wait — actually, “that flower grows all its colors” — does that make sense? Flowers grow petals, leaves, etc., but not “colors”. Colors are properties, not things that grow.

Perhaps the intended sentence was: “I have seen that flower show all its colors on a sunny day” — but that’s too much rewriting.

Alternatively, maybe it’s: “I have that flower; it shows all its colors on a sunny day” — but again, too much.

Looking back: the sentence is “I’ve have that flower grows all it’s colors on a sunny day”

Probably typo: “I’ve have” → should be “I have”

“grows” → maybe should be “shows” or “displays”

“it’s” → “its”

Since this is a grammar exercise, and “grows all its colors” is not standard, I think we should correct it to something logical.

Common phrase: “shows all its colors”

So best correction: I have that flower; it shows all its colors on a sunny day.

But the original has no punctuation. Maybe keep it simple.

Another possibility: “I have that flower that grows all its colors...” — still awkward.

Perhaps: “I have that flower, and it shows all its colors on a sunny day.”

But to minimize changes:

Let’s assume “grows” is a mistake for “shows”.

Final decision:

✔ Corrected: I have that flower; it shows all its colors on a sunny day.

But wait — the original says “I’ve have that flower grows...” — maybe it’s “I have that flower that grows...” — but still, “grows colors” is wrong.

I think the most reasonable fix is:

I have that flower, and it shows all its colors on a sunny day.

But to match the structure, perhaps:

I have that flower that shows all its colors on a sunny day.

Yes, that works.

So:

Original: “I’ve have that flower grows all it’s colors on a sunny day”

Fix:
- “I’ve have” → “I have”
- “grows” → “shows” (for logic/grammar combo)
- “it’s” → “its”

✔ Final: I have that flower that shows all its colors on a sunny day.

6. I’m thinking that their rise to meet the boat one

This sentence is messy.

“I’m thinking that their rise to meet the boat one”

What does “their rise” mean? People rising? And “meet the boat one” — what is “one”?

Probably typos.

Likely intended: “I’m thinking that they will rise to meet the boat soon.”

Or: “I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat.”

But “their rise” is a noun phrase — “the rise of them” — which is awkward.

Better: “they are rising”

Also, “boat one” — probably “boat soon” or “boat now”

Assuming “one” is a typo for “soon”

So:

✔ Corrected: I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat soon.

If we want to keep close to original:

“I’m thinking that their rise to meet the boat is happening” — but that’s forced.

Best guess: I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat soon.

7. You should really mind you’re own business and not be so nosy.

→ “you’re” = “you are” → but we need possessive: “your”
→ “mind your own business” is the correct phrase
✔ Corrected: You should really mind your own business and not be so nosy.

---

Now, compiling all answers:

1. Joe and Maria have been married for ten years.
2. OK
3. OK
4. Does anyone know whose backpack this is?
5. I have that flower that shows all its colors on a sunny day.
6. I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat soon.
7. You should really mind your own business and not be so nosy.

Wait — for #5, is “shows” necessary? Maybe the teacher expects only grammar fixes, not semantic.

Alternative for #5: Keep “grows” but fix pronouns.

“I have that flower grows all its colors...” — still ungrammatical because “I have that flower grows” needs a relative pronoun: “that grows” or “which grows”

Ah! That’s it!

Original: “I’ve have that flower grows all it’s colors...”

Should be: “I have that flower that grows all its colors...”

Even if “grows colors” is odd, grammatically, adding “that” makes it a relative clause.

So minimal fix:

- “I’ve have” → “I have”
- Add “that” after “flower”
- “it’s” → “its”

✔ So: I have that flower that grows all its colors on a sunny day.

That’s better — only grammar fixes, no word changes.

Similarly, for #6: “their rise” — if we interpret “rise” as a noun, then “their rise to meet the boat one” — “one” might be “once” or “soon”, but perhaps “the boat one” means “the first boat”? Unlikely.

Maybe “boat one” is “boat, one” — but no comma.

Another idea: “meet the boat on one” — still unclear.

Perhaps it’s “meet the boat alone” — but “alone” doesn’t fit.

Best to assume “one” is typo for “soon”.

And “their rise” → change to “they are rising” for clarity.

But to be conservative, let’s see if we can fix only grammar.

“I’m thinking that their rise to meet the boat one” — if we add “is”:

“I’m thinking that their rise to meet the boat is one” — nonsense.

Perhaps: “I’m thinking that they rise to meet the boat once.” — but “once” when?

I think the safest is to go with: I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat soon.

For consistency, I'll use the minimal grammar fixes where possible.

Final decisions:

1. Fix "has" to "have"
2. OK
3. OK
4. Fix "who's" to "whose"
5. Fix "I've have" to "I have", add "that", fix "it's" to "its" → "I have that flower that grows all its colors on a sunny day."
6. Assume "their rise" should be "they are rising", and "one" should be "soon" → "I’m thinking that they are rising to meet the boat soon."
7. Fix "you're" to "your"

Now, writing final answer.
