Irony worksheet for students to practice identifying and using irony in sentences.

Here are the completed sentences using irony, based on the situations provided in the worksheet:

1. When the sun came out after weeks of rain, Joe said, "Great, just what I needed—more sunshine to ruin my perfect tan."
*(Note: This is ironic because he likely wanted the sun, but pretends to be annoyed by it, or implies he was enjoying the rain.)*

2. When my dad saw the dent in our new car, he said, "Wow, this adds so much character! I was worried it looked too perfect."
*(Note: This is ironic because a dent damages the car's value and look, but he pretends it’s an improvement.)*

3. A woman shopping for a new sofa asks the salesman, "Is this sofa comfortable? It looks like it was designed for people who enjoy back pain."
*(Note: This is ironic if the sofa actually looks plush and soft, or if she says it while sitting on a very hard chair.)*

4. A student who gets a D on a test after studying hard for it says, "I guess I should have studied even less—I clearly overprepared!"
*(Note: This is ironic because studying hard usually leads to better grades, but he got a poor grade despite his effort.)*
