Homophones worksheet for students to practice choosing correct words like "Where," "We're," "Wear," and "Were" in sentences.

Explanation:
We are given four homophones to choose from: Where, We’re, Wear, and Were.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide which word fits best.

1. *Sally likes to ________ new clothes. She knows ________ to buy them.*
- First blank: “likes to ________ new clothes” → This is about putting on clothes, so the verb is wear.
- Second blank: “knows ________ to buy them” → This asks about location (where to buy), so it’s where.
✔ So: Wear, Where

2. *________ have you been? You ________ supposed to be here hours ago.*
- First blank: Asking a question about location → Where
- Second blank: “You ________ supposed…” — this is past tense of “we are”, but subject is “you”, so it’s “you were”. Yes, were is correct.
✔ So: Where, Were

3. *________ not a very good team. We don’t even ________ the same uniform.*
- First blank: Subject is missing — “________ not a very good team.” The subject should be “We’re” (contraction of “We are”).
→ “We’re not a very good team.” ✔️
- Second blank: “We don’t even ________ the same uniform.” Again, about clothing → wear.
✔ So: We’re, Wear

4. *________ you going to play soccer? ________ desperate for a goal keeper.*
- First blank: Question — “________ you going…” → This needs “Are”, but that’s not an option. Wait — look again: options are only Where / We’re / Wear / Were. Hmm… but “We’re” can’t fit at start of question unless it's “We’re you…” which is wrong. Let’s double-check.
Actually — maybe it's a typo in our thinking. Wait! The sentence is: *________ you going to play soccer?*
None of the four options directly fit “Are”, but notice: We’re is not correct here. Let’s reconsider: Could it be Where? No — “Where you going?” is informal but usually written as “Where are you going?” — still not matching.
Wait — perhaps the intended answer is Were? “Were you going to play soccer?” is grammatical (past continuous, implying expectation). Yes! That makes sense: “Were you going to play soccer?” = asking if they planned to.
- Second blank: “________ desperate for a goal keeper.” → Needs subject + verb. Only “We’re” fits: “We’re desperate…”
✔ So: Were, We’re

5. *You should know ________ to buy a new car.*
- Again, asking about location → where
✔ So: Where

6. *They ________ new shoes, but now they’re old. ________ is the closest shoe shop?*
- First blank: “They ________ new shoes” — past tense of “are” → were (they were new shoes? Wait — no! “They were new shoes” is odd because “they” refers to people? Or shoes? Actually, likely: “They wore new shoes” — but *wore* isn’t an option. Options are only Where / We’re / Wear / Were. Hmm. Let’s read carefully: “They ________ new shoes, but now they’re old.” If “they” refers to the shoes, then “They were new shoes” is possible but awkward. More naturally: “They wore new shoes” — but *wore* not available. Alternatively, maybe it's “They were [wearing] new shoes” → simplified to “They were new shoes” is incorrect grammar.
Wait — maybe the sentence means: *They [had] new shoes* → but again, not matching options. Let’s consider: Could it be Wear? “They wear new shoes” — but then “but now they’re old” contradicts present tense. Unless it's general habit — but “now they’re old” suggests the shoes are no longer new, so past tense needed.
Best fit among given words: Were — as in “They were [in possession of] new shoes” — a bit stretched, but common in informal usage (e.g., “They were new shoes” is not standard; better: “The shoes were new”). However, given the limited choices, and since “Were” is the only past-tense verb, and sentence 2 used “Were” for “you were”, likely here too: Were.
- Second blank: “________ is the closest shoe shop?” → clearly Where
✔ So: Were, Where

Now let’s compile all answers per sentence:

1. Wear, Where
2. Where, Were
3. We’re, Wear
4. Were, We’re
5. Where
6. Were, Where

Double-check each for grammar:

1. Sally likes to wear new clothes. She knows where to buy them. ✔️
2. Where have you been? You were supposed to be here hours ago. ✔️
3. We’re not a very good team. We don’t even wear the same uniform. ✔️
4. Were you going to play soccer? We’re desperate for a goal keeper. ✔️ (Yes — “Were you going…” is correct for past intention.)
5. You should know where to buy a new car. ✔️
6. They were new shoes, but now they’re old. → Hmm, still awkward. Alternative: Maybe “They wore new shoes” is intended, but *wore* isn’t an option. Since only four words allowed, and “Were” is the only past-tense verb left, and in some dialects people say “They were wearing new shoes” → shortened informally to “They were new shoes” is incorrect. Wait — perhaps the subject “They” refers to *people*, and it's “They were [in a state of having] new shoes” — still weak. Let’s look back at the word list: only Where / We’re / Wear / Were. No “Wore. So the test expects Were here. Many worksheets accept “They were new shoes” as a simplification for young learners, though technically it should be “The shoes were new.” Given context, we’ll go with Were**.

Thus, final answers per blank:

1. Wear, Where
2. Where, Were
3. We’re, Wear
4. Were, We’re
5. Where
6. Were, Where

Final Answer:
1. Wear, Where
2. Where, Were
3. We’re, Wear
4. Were, We’re
5. Where
6. Were, Where
