Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

---

First, look at the top section: “Word Family ‘ink’”

We see that words like *shrink*, *stink*, *think*, *blink*, and *drink* are made by adding letters before “ink”.

The diagram shows:
- shr → shrink
- dr → drink
- th → think
- st → stink
- bl → blink

So we just need to write each word on the line next to it — but they’re already written! Maybe the student is supposed to copy them or say them out loud. But since there’s a blank line after each, perhaps they’re meant to write the word again for practice? Or maybe it’s a typo in the worksheet. We’ll assume the student just needs to recognize these as part of the “ink” family.

Next section: Four boxes with pictures and “__ __ ink”

1. First picture: A girl smiling → likely “wink” (but wink is one eye closing… wait, no — she’s not winking. Hmm.)

Wait — let’s think:

Actually, looking closely:

Box 1: Girl with head tilted, maybe thinking? But “think” doesn’t fit “__ __ ink” — it’s “th” + “ink”, so two blanks would be “th” → “think”

But the blank says “__ __ ink” — meaning two letters before “ink”.

Let’s match the pictures:

Box 1: Girl with hand near face, maybe thinking → “think” → “th” + “ink” → fill in “th”

Box 2: Man sneezing or smelling something bad → “stink” → “st” + “ink”

Box 3: Person drinking from bottle → “drink” → “dr” + “ink”

Box 4: Two eyes closed → “blink” → “bl” + “ink”

Wait — but “blink” is when you close both eyes quickly. Yes, that fits.

So:

Box 1: th → think
Box 2: st → stink
Box 3: dr → drink
Box 4: bl → blink

But wait — Box 1 picture: actually, looking again — it might be “wink”? No, wink is one eye. The fourth box has two eyelashes — that’s blink.

Actually, let me reassign based on common sense:

- Picture 1: Girl with finger on chin → thinking → “think” → “th”
- Picture 2: Man holding nose → stink → “st”
- Picture 3: Drinking → “drink” → “dr”
- Picture 4: Closed eyes → “blink” → “bl”

Yes, that makes sense.

Now, next part: Write the past tense of the following “ink” words:

List: think, drink, shrink, stink, blink, wink

Past tense rules:

- think → thought (irregular)
- drink → drank (irregular)
- shrink → shrank (irregular)
- stink → stank (irregular)
- blink → blinked (regular - add ed)
- wink → winked (regular - add ed)

Important: Some of these are irregular verbs!

So:

think → thought
drink → drank
shrink → shrank
stink → stank
blink → blinked
wink → winked

Next: Write words related to “smell”:

Given: aroma,

Other words: scent, odor, fragrance, perfume, stench, whiff, etc.

Since it says “related to smell”, and “aroma” is positive, maybe list similar ones.

Possible answers: scent, fragrance, perfume

Then: Write more words related to “drinking”:

Given: gulping,

Others: sipping, swallowing, chugging, quenching, hydrating

Simple ones: sipping, swallowing

Last section: Read clues to discover more “ink” words.

Clue 1: A colour: ____ → “pink” (p + ink)

Clue 2: To close one eye: ____ → “wink” (w + ink) — and there’s a picture of one open eye and one closed eye.

Clue 3: An enclosed area of ice for skating: ____ → “rink” (r + ink) — like hockey rink

Clue 4: A connection or relationship between two things: ____ → “link” (l + ink)

Clue 5: A fixed basin with water supply and drain: ____ → “sink” (s + ink)

Perfect!

Now let’s compile all answers clearly.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:

Top right lines (just rewrite the words):

shrink
stink
think
blink
drink

Four boxes:

th ink → think
st ink → stink
dr ink → drink
bl ink → blink

Past tense:

think → thought
drink → drank
shrink → shrank
stink → stank
blink → blinked
wink → winked

Words related to “smell”:
scent, fragrance, perfume (any 3)

Words related to “drinking”:
sipping, swallowing, chugging (any 3)

Clues:

A colour: pink
To close one eye: wink
An enclosed area of ice for skating: rink
A connection or relationship between two things: link
A fixed basin with water supply and drain: sink
