Sentence Rewrites

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to instruct students on the proper use of hyphens in sentence construction. It presents a series of sentences that are missing hyphens and requires the student to rewrite them correctly by inserting hyphens where needed. The sentences involve situations where hyphens are used to connect words that work together as a single adjective before a noun or to join words in compound numbers. The goal is to practice and understand hyphenation rules to enhance clarity in writing.

The worksheet aims to teach students the importance of hyphens in creating clear and correctly structured sentences. By focusing on compound adjectives and compound numbers, it helps students recognize when two or more words should be connected with a hyphen to function as a single idea. The exercise also improves the students’ attention to detail and enhances their editing skills. Completing the worksheet will equip students with practical knowledge of hyphenation conventions, which are a critical part of English grammar.
