Stop & Smell The Spelling - Free Printable

Let’s look at the worksheet section that needs to be completed.

We are on the second row, under “Write It”, “Draw It”, and “Use It”.

The word given is: shorter

Under “Write It”, the student has already written:
> shorter
> shorter

That part is done.

Under “Draw It”, there’s a drawing of two stick figures — one taller, one shorter. That matches the word “shorter”, so that’s also done.

Now we’re at “Use It” — which says:
> Write a sentence that uses the word.

The student has started writing:
> I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _......

Actually, looking closely — the student has only written “I” and then stopped. The rest of the line is blank. So we need to complete a sentence using the word shorter.

Let’s think of a simple, correct sentence with “shorter”.

Examples:
- My pencil is shorter than yours.
- She is shorter than her brother.
- This rope is shorter than that one.

Since the drawing shows two people (one taller, one shorter), it makes sense to write a sentence comparing heights.

So let’s go with:
I am shorter than my friend.

Or even simpler:
She is shorter.

But since the student started with “I”, let’s finish that thought.

Possible completion:
I am shorter than you.

That’s clear, uses the word correctly, and matches the context.

Let’s check spelling:
“shorter” — spelled correctly in the sentence? Yes.

Grammar: Subject + verb + adjective + comparison → correct.

Final sentence:
I am shorter than you.

Final Answer:
I am shorter than you.
