Homophones - we provide a list of common homophones and worksheets - Free Printable

Let's solve this homophones worksheet step by step.

Understanding the Task

We are given a word bank with words that sound the same but have different meanings (homophones). We need to choose the correct word from the bank to complete each sentence.

---

Word Bank:

- it's
- they're
- two
- it's
- to
- whose
- their
- too
- who's
- there

(Note: "it's" appears twice, likely a typo — we'll treat it as one.)

---

Now let’s go through each sentence and pick the correct homophone.

---

1. I have _____ white puppies.

- We need a number.
- The only number in the word bank is two.
- ✔ Answer: two

> Sentence: *I have two white puppies.*

---

2. The dog licked _____ paws.

- We need a possessive pronoun to show ownership of the paws.
- The dog owns its own paws → use its.
- ✘ "It's" means "it is" — doesn't make sense here.
- ✔ Answer: its

> Sentence: *The dog licked its paws.*

---

3. _____ is my dog.

- This is a subject + verb structure.
- We need a subject pronoun or a contraction.
- "It's" = "It is" → could fit grammatically: *"It is my dog."*
- But wait — the word bank has it's, not it is.
- So: *"It's my dog."* = "It is my dog." → makes sense.
- ✔ Answer: It's

> Sentence: *It's my dog.*

---

4. _____ dog has the ball?

- We need to ask about ownership.
- Use whose → "Whose dog has the ball?"
- ✔ Answer: Whose

> Sentence: *Whose dog has the ball?*

---

5. _____ playing at the park with the dogs.

- Subject missing. Need a subject.
- "They're" = "They are" → "They are playing..." → fits perfectly.
- ✔ Answer: They're

> Sentence: *They're playing at the park with the dogs.*

---

6. _____ up for playing fetch?

- This is asking if someone is ready.
- "Are you up for..." → so we want "Are you" → but we don’t have "you".
- Wait — maybe it's "Who's"?
- "Who's up for playing fetch?" = "Who is up for playing fetch?" → perfect!
- ✔ Answer: Who's

> Sentence: *Who's up for playing fetch?*

---

7. _____ dog is eating food.

- Possessive again — which dog belongs to whom?
- "Their" = possessive pronoun → "Their dog is eating food."
- ✔ Answer: Their

> Sentence: *Their dog is eating food.*

---

8. _____ perfect weather for a walk in the park.

- Missing subject.
- "It's" = "It is" → "It is perfect weather..." → correct.
- ✔ Answer: It's

> Sentence: *It's perfect weather for a walk in the park.*

---

9. I want to pet her _____.

- We need a noun after "her".
- Possible options: "to", "too", "there" — none are nouns.
- Wait — "paw"? Not in word bank.
- Let’s check: "to" — no.
- "too" — means "also" → "I want to pet her too" → makes sense!
- Yes! "Too" can be used at the end of a sentence meaning "also".
- ✔ Answer: too

> Sentence: *I want to pet her too.*

---

10. I am going _____ the park today.

- Preposition needed.
- "To" is the correct preposition: "going to the park"
- ✔ Answer: to

> Sentence: *I am going to the park today.*

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. two
2. its
3. It's
4. Whose
5. They're
6. Who's
7. Their
