One-syllable word practice worksheet for identifying and using syllables in sentences.

Let's solve this syllable worksheet step by step.

Understanding the Task

We are given a list of one-syllable words:
- boat
- ball
- day
- tea
- baseball
- fish
- nighttime
- coffee
- fun

But note: "baseball" and "nighttime" have two syllables, so they are not valid for this exercise, which asks us to use one-syllable words.

So, from the box, the true one-syllable words are:
- boat
- ball
- day
- tea
- fish
- coffee
- fun

(Note: "coffee" is often pronounced as two syllables — *cof-fe*, but in some dialects it's one. However, in most standard English, "coffee" has two syllables. Let's check each word carefully.)

Actually, let’s analyze the syllables:

| Word | Syllables |
|------------|----------|
| boat | 1 |
| ball | 1 |
| day | 1 |
| tea | 1 |
| baseball | 2 (base-ball) |
| fish | 1 |
| nighttime | 2 (night-time) |
| coffee | 2 (cof-fee) |
| fun | 1 |

So the one-syllable words are:
✔ boat, ball, day, tea, fish, fun

Now, we need to fill in the blanks using only these one-syllable words.

Solving Each Sentence

1. The __________ jumped out of the water.
→ What animal jumps out of water? A fish!
✔ fish (1 syllable)

2. The __________ skimmed across the sea.
→ Something that skims across the sea? A boat or ball?
But a boat can skim across the sea. A ball doesn't typically skim across the sea.
Also, "skimmed" suggests motion on water — like a boat.
✔ boat

3. I love to play __________ with my brother.
→ Playing what? A game? "Ball" is a common game.
"Baseball" is two syllables — not allowed.
So just ball fits.
✔ ball

4. My favorite drink is __________.
→ Drinks: tea, coffee, etc.
But tea is one syllable.
Coffee is two syllables — not allowed.
So only tea works.
✔ tea

5. We had a lot of __________ at the water park.
→ "A lot of fun" is a common phrase.
✔ fun (1 syllable)

6. I worked all __________ long to finish mowing the lawn.
→ "All day long" is a common expression.
✔ day
