Step-by-step solution for: Homophones Worksheets
Sure! Let’s go through each sentence and choose the correct homophone to complete it. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and often different spellings.
---
1. I would like ___ have some cookies with milk.
Options: *to, two*
✔ Correct answer: to
→ “I would like to have…” is the correct grammatical structure. “Two” is a number — doesn’t fit here.
---
2. The wind ___ the newspaper right out of my hands.
Options: *blue, blew*
✔ Correct answer: blew
→ “Blew” is the past tense of “blow.” Wind blows things. “Blue” is a color — doesn’t make sense here.
---
3. ___ sister will meet you at the bus stop after school.
Options: *You’re, Your*
✔ Correct answer: Your
→ “Your” shows possession — “your sister” = the sister belonging to you. “You’re” = “you are,” which doesn’t fit.
---
4. Maggie will ___ a story in her notebook.
Options: *write, right*
✔ Correct answer: write
→ “Write” means to put words on paper. “Right” means correct or direction — doesn’t fit.
---
5. Can you help me find ___ shoes?
Options: *their, they’re*
✔ Correct answer: their
→ “Their” shows possession — “their shoes” = the shoes belonging to them. “They’re” = “they are” — doesn’t fit.
---
6. There is a ___ in my right sock.
Options: *hole, whole*
✔ Correct answer: hole
→ A “hole” is an opening or gap — makes sense in a sock. “Whole” means entire — doesn’t fit.
---
7. I won the game ___ three points.
Options: *by, boy*
✔ Correct answer: by
→ “Won the game by three points” = the margin of victory. “Boy” is a person — doesn’t fit.
---
8. Barbara bought new ___ to wear on the first day of school.
Options: *close, clothes*
✔ Correct answer: clothes
→ “Clothes” = garments to wear. “Close” means near or to shut — doesn’t fit.
---
9. Please make sure to ___ a jacket outside.
Options: *wear, where*
✔ Correct answer: wear
→ “Wear a jacket” = put it on your body. “Where” is a question word for location — doesn’t fit.
---
10. Have you heard the fable about the tortoise and the ___ hare?
Options: *hair, hare*
✔ Correct answer: hare
→ This refers to the classic fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.” A “hare” is a fast animal (like a rabbit). “Hair” is what grows on your head — doesn’t fit.
---
