Let's solve this vocabulary worksheet step by step.

Part 1: Match the opposites
We are given several words and pictures. We need to match each word with its opposite.
Here are the words:
- big
- sad
- short
- little
- happy
- tall
Now, let’s find the opposites:
1.
big →
little
(An elephant is big; a small mushroom is little)
2.
sad →
happy
(A sad face vs. a happy girl)
3.
short →
tall
(A short person next to a tall person)
4.
little →
big
(Already matched above)
So the correct matches are:
-
big ↔ little
-
sad ↔ happy
-
short ↔ tall

Part 2: Use the opposites to complete the sentences
We are given these words to choose from:
> black, cold, girl, hot, boy, white
Let’s look at each sentence:
#### 1. *The zebra has ________ and ________ stripes.*
Zebras have black and white stripes.
✔ Answer:
black and
white
#### 2. *The ________ is taller than the ________.*
We need two people — one taller than the other. The options are
girl and
boy.
This is a common comparison in such exercises. So:
✔ The
boy is taller than the
girl
(Or vice versa — but usually "boy" is assumed to be taller in such contexts unless specified.)
But since both are possible, we can go with:
✔ The
boy is taller than the
girl
(Alternatively, if the context allows, it could be reversed — but "boy" is typically used as the taller one in simple comparisons.)
#### 3. *Ice is ________ and fire is ________.*
Opposites of temperature:
- Ice is
cold
- Fire is
hot
✔ Answer:
cold and
hot

✔ Final Answers:
#### Part 1: Match the opposites
- big ↔ little
- sad ↔ happy
- short ↔ tall
#### Part 2: Complete the sentences
1. The zebra has
black and
white stripes.
2. The
boy is taller than the
girl.
3. Ice is
cold and fire is
hot.
