Homophones Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll 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 wanting to do something → “to” is correct. (“Two” is a number, “too” means also or very.)
✔ to

2. “The wind ___ the newspaper right out of my hands.”
This is past tense — what the wind did → “blew” (past of blow). “Blue” is a color.
✔ blew

3. “___ sister will meet you at the bus stop after school.”
We need the possessive form — belonging to you → “Your”. (“You’re” = you are.)
✔ Your

4. “Maggie will ___ a story in her notebook.”
She’s going to put words on paper → “write”. (“Right” means correct or direction.)
✔ write

5. “Can you help me find ___ shoes?”
We mean “those shoes over there” → “their” (belonging to them). Wait — actually, this is tricky. The sentence says “help me find ___ shoes?” — it’s asking for *your* shoes? Or *their*? But looking at context: “Can you help me find [someone else’s] shoes?” → “their” makes sense if we’re helping someone find their own shoes. Actually, let’s think again — maybe it’s “my” shoes? No, the options are “their” or “they’re”. “They’re” = they are — doesn’t fit. So “their” = belonging to them. Maybe the speaker is helping someone find *that person’s* shoes. Yes, “their” fits.
Wait — actually, re-reading: “Can you help me find ___ shoes?” — if I’m asking you to help me find *my* shoes, none of these work. But since only “their” and “they’re” are given, and “they’re” is wrong here, it must be “their” — perhaps implying “the shoes that belong to us/them”. In common usage, sometimes people say “Can you help me find their shoes?” meaning someone else’s. But actually — hold on — maybe it’s a typo? No, let’s stick with grammar: “their” is possessive, “they’re” is contraction. Only “their” can modify “shoes”.
✔ their

6. “There is a ___ in my right sock.”
A space or opening → “hole”. (“Whole” means entire.)
✔ hole

7. “I won the game ___ three points.”
Meaning: by a margin of three points → “by”. (“Buy” means purchase.)
✔ by

8. “Barbara bought new ___ to wear on the first day of school.”
Items of clothing → “clothes”. (“Close” means near or shut.)
✔ clothes

9. “Please make sure to ___ a jacket outside.”
Put on a jacket → “wear”. (“Where” asks about location.)
✔ wear

10. “Have you heard the fable about the tortoise and the ___?”
Classic story: tortoise and the hare → “hare” (animal). (“Hair” is on your head.)
✔ hare
