Educational "Do' Contractions Worksheet" for Kids A2, promoting grammar learning with fun illustrations and eco-friendly printing.

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Do' Contractions Worksheet", which is designed to help students learn and practice contractions with the word "do" (such as *don't*, *doesn't*, *didn't*, etc.). The worksheet includes several sections: identifying contractions, filling in blanks, and writing sentences.

Let’s go through each section and solve the problems step by step.

---

Section 1: Match the contraction to its expanded form

This table asks students to match contractions like *don’t*, *doesn’t*, *didn’t* to their full forms.

| Person | Contraction | Expands to |
|--------|-------------|------------|
| I | don't | do not |
| He | doesn't | does not |
| She | didn't | did not |
| They | don't | do not |

✔ Correct answers:
- I don't → do not
- He doesn't → does not
- She didn't → did not
- They don't → do not

Section 2: Fill in the blanks with the correct contraction

Here are the sentences:

1. Students _____ watch TV after school, they only study.
- Correct contraction: don't
- Full sentence: *Students don't watch TV after school, they only study.*

2. They _____ play basketball on the weekend.
- Correct contraction: don't
- Full sentence: *They don't play basketball on the weekend.*

3. Our teacher says we have to stay at home because she _____ give us a lot of homework.
- Correct contraction: doesn't
- Full sentence: *Our teacher says we have to stay at home because she doesn't give us a lot of homework.*

4. I _____ go to the cinema on Friday night because we live there.
- This one is tricky. It seems like a typo or missing context. "We live there" doesn't make sense with "go to the cinema." Possibly it should be "because we live far away," but assuming the intent:
- Likely intended: *I don't go to the cinema on Friday night because we live far away.*
- So answer: don't

Section 3: Write the correct contraction for each sentence

Now, write the appropriate contraction:

1. My dog likes to go for long walks.
- This sentence is already correct. No contraction needed.
- But if it were asking to use a contraction: *My dog doesn't like to go for long walks.* — wait, no, the original says he *does* like it.
- So: No contraction needed, or perhaps the exercise wants you to use a contraction in a similar structure.
- But since the sentence is positive and uses "likes", no "do" contraction applies.

✔ Answer: No change needed. Sentence is correct.

2. They don't go to the cinema during the holidays.
- Already has the contraction "don't". But the instruction says “write the correct contraction” — maybe this is just to confirm.
- So: don't

3. You always do your homework right before it's due.
- This sentence uses "do" but doesn't need a contraction. However, if we want to rephrase using a contraction:
- Could be: *You always do your homework...* → no contraction possible here unless changing meaning.
- But likely the point is that "you do" can become "you'd" in some contexts, but that’s not accurate here.
- Actually, "you do" cannot be contracted to "you'd" — "you'd" means "you would" or "you had".
- So: No contraction needed.

✔ Answer: No contraction required.

4. My friend drinks a lot of hot chocolate during winter.
- Again, no "do" verb here. "Drinks" is third-person singular present tense.
- No contraction involving "do" applies.

✔ Answer: No contraction needed.

5. My dad goes skiing with his friends every December.
- Verb is "goes", not "do". No "do" contraction.

✔ Answer: No contraction needed.

6. He creates very interesting English is easy.
- This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should probably be: *He creates very interesting English lessons.*
- Or possibly: *He creates very interesting English content.*
- But as written, it's unclear. "English is easy" seems like a separate thought.
- Likely a typo.

✔ Answer: Sentence appears flawed; no valid contraction.

7. David reads every night before he goes to sleep.
- "Reads" — no "do" verb. No contraction.

✔ Answer: No contraction needed.

Section 4: Use the correct contraction in the sentence

1. Karen speaks English well when at school.
- No "do" verb here. "Speaks" is third-person singular.
- No contraction needed.

✔ Answer: No contraction.

2. She eats ice cream for dessert on Sundays.
- "Eats" — again, no "do" verb.
- No contraction.

✔ Answer: No contraction.

Summary of Key Concepts

- Contractions with "do" include:
- don't = do not
- doesn't = does not
- didn't = did not
- did not → didn't
- do not → don't
- does not → doesn't

- These are used with auxiliary verbs or main verbs in negative or question forms.
- Only use them when the base verb is "do" or "does" (present), or "did" (past).
