Homophone practice worksheet with fill-in-the-blank sentences.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking for homophones — words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. We need to pick the right homophone for each blank so the sentence makes sense.

---

Sentence 1: “It is not _______ to speak _______ in the library”

Think about what’s allowed or not allowed in a library. Usually, you’re not supposed to talk loudly.

- First blank: “not ___” → probably “allowed” (meaning permitted)
- Second blank: “speak ___” → probably “aloud” (meaning out loud)

✔ Homophones: allowed / aloud

So:
→ It is not allowed to speak aloud in the library.

---

Sentence 2: “I saw her _______ at the girl on the _______”

This one is tricky. Let’s think of homophones that fit.

Possible pair: stare / stair

- “saw her stare” = she was looking fixedly
- “on the stair” = on the steps

That fits!

✔ Homophones: stare / stair

So:
→ I saw her stare at the girl on the stair.

*(Note: Some might say “stairs”, but since it says “the ___”, singular “stair” works if referring to one step.)*

---

Sentence 3: “The _______ _______ a beautiful dress for her mistress.”

We need two homophones here. Think of words like “maid” and “made”.

- “The maid” = female servant
- “made” = created or sewed

Perfect! The maid made a dress.

✔ Homophones: maid / made

So:
→ The maid made a beautiful dress for her mistress.

---

Sentence 4: “The referee _______ the _______ whistle to end the football match.”

Referee does something with a whistle. Probably “blew” the whistle.

What sounds like “blew”? → “blue”

But “blue whistle” doesn’t make much sense… unless it’s describing the color? Maybe possible.

Wait — another possibility: “through” and “threw”? No, doesn’t fit.

Actually, let’s reconsider:

“Blew” (past tense of blow) and “blue” (color) are homophones.

Could the whistle be blue? Yes, whistles can be colored.

So:
→ The referee blew the blue whistle...

That works grammatically and logically.

✔ Homophones: blew / blue

---

Now let’s write all answers together:

1. allowed / aloud
2. stare / stair
3. maid / made
4. blew / blue

Double-checking:

1. Not *allowed* to speak *aloud* → correct usage.
2. Saw her *stare* at the girl on the *stair* → makes sense.
3. The *maid* *made* a dress → perfect.
4. Referee *blew* the *blue* whistle → acceptable; some whistles are colored blue.

All homophone pairs are valid and sentences make sense.

Final Answer:
1. allowed, aloud
2. stare, stair
3. maid, made
4. blew, blue
