Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right homophone — words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
1. “I would like ___ have some cookies with milk.”
We’re talking about quantity here — how many cookies? So we need the number:
two.
→ *to* is for direction or purpose, *too* means also or very. Not those.
2. “The wind ___ the newspaper right out of my hands.”
This is past tense — what did the wind do? It moved the paper. The verb is “blow,” so past tense is
blew.
→ *blue* is a color.
3. “___ sister will meet you at the bus stop after school.”
This shows possession — whose sister? Yours. So we use
Your.
→ *You’re* = you are. Doesn’t fit.
4. “Maggie will ___ a story in her notebook.”
She’s going to put words on paper — that’s writing. So
write.
→ *right* means correct or direction.
5. “Can you help me find ___ shoes?”
We’re talking about belonging to “them” — their shoes. So
their.
→ *they’re* = they are; *there* = location.
6. “There is a ___ in my right sock.”
A hole is an opening or tear. That makes sense in a sock.
hole.
→ *whole* means entire.
7. “I won the game ___ three points.”
Again, this is about quantity — how many points? Three. So
by (meaning “with a margin of”).
Wait — actually, let’s think again. “Won by three points” is correct usage. But looking at options: [by, buy].
→ *buy* is to purchase. So yes,
by is correct.
8. “Barbara bought new ___ to wear on the first day of school.”
Clothes are things you wear.
clothes.
→ *close* means near or shut.
9. “Please make sure to ___ a jacket outside.”
You put on clothing — that’s “wear”.
wear.
→ *where* is a place.
10. “Have you heard the fable about the tortoise and the ___?”
Classic story: tortoise and the hare.
hare (a rabbit-like animal).
→ *hair* is what grows on your head.
Now let’s list all answers clearly:
Final Answer:
1. two
2. blew
3. Your
4. write
5. their
6. hole
7. by
8. clothes
9. wear
10. hare
