Let me work through this syllable division worksheet step by step.
First, I need to understand what a syllable is: it's a unit of spoken language with one vowel sound. I'll divide each word and count the syllables.
Let me go through each word carefully:
1.
vacation - va/ca/tion = 3 syllables
2.
country - coun/try = 2 syllables
3.
mountain - moun/tain = 2 syllables
4.
carry - car/ry = 2 syllables
5.
father - fa/ther = 2 syllables
6.
country - coun/try = 2 syllables (same as #2)
7.
below - be/low = 2 syllables
8.
every - ev/e/ry = 3 syllables
9.
between - be/tween = 2 syllables
10.
important - im/por/tant = 3 syllables
11.
produce - pro/duce = 2 syllables
12.
understand - un/der/stand = 3 syllables
13.
common - com/mon = 2 syllables
14.
minutes - min/u/tes = 3 syllables
15.
inches - in/ches = 2 syllables
16.
finally - fi/nal/ly = 3 syllables
17.
government - gov/ern/ment = 3 syllables
18.
thousands - thou/sands = 2 syllables
19.
scientist - sci/en/tist = 3 syllables
20.
nothing - noth/ing = 2 syllables
Let me double-check my answers:
1. vacation: va-ca-tion ✓ (3)
2. country: coun-try ✓ (2)
3. mountain: moun-tain ✓ (2)
4. carry: car-ry ✓ (2)
5. father: fa-ther ✓ (2)
6. country: coun-try ✓ (2)
7. below: be-low ✓ (2)
8. every: ev-e-ry ✓ (3)
9. between: be-tween ✓ (2)
10. important: im-por-tant ✓ (3)
11. produce: pro-duce ✓ (2)
12. understand: un-der-stand ✓ (3)
13. common: com-mon ✓ (2)
14. minutes: min-u-tes ✓ (3)
15. inches: in-ches ✓ (2)
16. finally: fi-nal-ly ✓ (3)
17. government: gov-ern-ment ✓ (3)
18. thousands: thou-sands ✓ (2)
19. scientist: sci-en-tist ✓ (3)
20. nothing: noth-ing ✓ (2)
Final Answer:
1. vacation: va/ca/tion = 3
2. country: coun/try = 2
3. mountain: moun/tain = 2
4. carry: car/ry = 2
5. father: fa/ther = 2
6. country: coun/try = 2
7. below: be/low = 2
8. every: ev/e/ry = 3
9. between: be/tween = 2
10. important: im/por/tant = 3
11. produce: pro/duce = 2
12. understand: un/der/stand = 3
13. common: com/mon = 2
14. minutes: min/u/tes = 3
15. inches: in/ches = 2
16. finally: fi/nal/ly = 3
17. government: gov/ern/ment = 3
18. thousands: thou/sands = 2
19. scientist: sci/en/tist = 3
