Step-by-step solution for: Homonyms, Homographs, and Homophones Worksheet for 5th - 6th Grade ...
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the spelling mistakes. I’ll write the corrected version right after each wrong word, so you can see what changed.
---
1. Can I get a pen from you, miss?
→ “pan” should be “pen” (a writing tool)
2. You say beautiful things about good food.
→ This sentence is already correct! No changes needed.
3. I never wrote a letter to him; he sent me an email.
→ “writed” → “wrote” (past tense of write)
→ “emial” → “email”
4. She didn’t get her license until she was eighteen.
→ “lisence” → “license”
→ “eithteen” → “eighteen”
5. And, Mike, Washington D.C. is our capital city; don’t forget that.
→ “capitol” → “capital” (city = capital; building = capitol)
→ “dont” → “don’t” (needs apostrophe)
6. How is going to the store with your mom any fun?
→ This sentence is okay — no spelling errors. (Grammar might be off, but we’re only fixing spelling.)
7. Do you think it is going to rain today; expect the worst.
→ “rain” is spelled correctly.
→ But note: semicolon usage may be questionable — however, since we’re only fixing spelling, this stays as is.
8. I saw a railroad sign that said train was on track ahead.
→ “railedroad” → “railroad”
→ “train” and “track” are fine.
9. There’s nowhere in the United States that plays Mexican music.
→ “nowhere” is correct.
→ “United Stated” → “United States”
→ “playes” → “plays”
10. Some people like to eat meat; others prefer vegetables.
→ “pepole” → “people”
→ “vegtables” → “vegetables”
11. The best way to make friends is to show interest in the lives of others.
→ “freinds” → “friends”
→ “intrest” → “interest”
→ “lives” is correct.
12. Health care is quite costly in this country.
→ “Healthcare” is often written as one word, but “health care” two words is also acceptable. We’ll leave it unless told otherwise.
→ “costly” is correct.
13. My friend has three children; his wife had twins.
→ “freind” → “friend”
→ “childrens” → “children” (plural doesn’t add -s)
→ “twins” is correct.
14. He chose not to work with us; maybe TV is a problem.
→ “choosed” → “chose”
→ “mayby” → “maybe”
15. If only I could play piano as well as my neighbor.
→ “piano” is correct.
→ “neigbor” → “neighbor”
16. Nobody thinks soccer is more fun than baseball.
→ “Nobody” is correct.
→ “soccer” and “baseball” are fine.
17. Please don’t drive so fast; it will put you in danger.
→ “dont” → “don’t”
→ “dangar” → “danger”
18. I don’t know how to drive in the snow yet.
→ “dont” → “don’t”
→ “snow” and “yet” are correct.
19. I need to take a shower; there’s been a water crisis!
→ “shower” is correct.
→ “crisis” is correct.
20. Someone here knows things have gotten worse.
→ “Someone” is correct.
→ “things” and “worse” are fine.
21. Let’s talk about life; here are a few solutions.
