High School Spelling Practice Worksheet with Misspelled Words to Correct

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and check if the underlined word is spelled correctly.

---

1. I don’t think John is perswaydable on this issue.
→ The correct spelling is persuadable (meaning able to be persuaded).
“Perswaydable” is misspelled — it should not have a “y”.
✔ NO

2. Timothy sings like a trubadour.
→ Correct spelling: troubadour (a medieval poet-musician).
Missing the “o” after “trub”.
✔ NO

3. It was a positively cataclysmic event.
→ “Cataclysmic” is spelled correctly. It means relating to a large-scale disaster.
✔ YES

4. Biathalon is a popular winter Olympic sport.
→ Correct spelling: biathlon (no extra “a” or “on”).
“Biathalon” is wrong.
✔ NO

5. That little girl talks incessantly.
→ “Incessantly” is spelled correctly. It means without stopping.
✔ YES

6. I don’t think there is any precedense for that judgement.
→ Should be precedent (not “precedense”). Also, “judgement” can be spelled “judgment” in American English, but the main error here is “precedense”.
✔ NO

7. I’ll have a salad with raspberry vingrette.
→ Should be vinaigrette (French dressing). Missing an “a” and has wrong ending.
✔ NO

8. I love the effervescence of champagne.
→ “Effervescence” is spelled correctly. It means bubbliness.
✔ YES

9. You wouldn’t believe the shenanigans that kid gets up to.
→ “Shenanigans” is spelled correctly. Means mischief or silly behavior.
✔ YES

10. Our football team was massacred in the playoffs.
→ “Massacred” is spelled correctly. Means defeated badly.
✔ YES

Now, list the misspelled words from above:

- perswaydable → should be persuadable
- trubadour → should be troubadour
- Biathalon → should be biathlon
- precedense → should be precedent
- vingrette → should be vinaigrette

Wait — let’s double-check #6: “precedense” — yes, definitely wrong. And #7: “vingrette” — missing “ai”, should be “vinaigrette”.

Also, note: In #6, “judgement” vs “judgment” — both are acceptable depending on region, so we won’t count that as an error unless specified. The clear error is “precedense”.

So total misspelled words to rewrite:

1. persuadable
2. troubadour
3. biathlon
4. precedent
5. vinaigrette

(We had 5 errors total.)

Final Answer:

persuadable
troubadour
biathlon
precedent
vinaigrette
