Less Word Choice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a language exercise that focuses on the use of the suffix “-less.” Students are presented with ten sentences, each with a blank space where a word ending in “-less” should be inserted to complete the sentence appropriately. The sentences are designed to be filled in with contextually relevant words such as “endless” or “hopeless,” depending on the sentence’s meaning. An illustration of two people reading a book is included, possibly to make the worksheet more engaging.

The purpose of this worksheet is to help students understand and practice using adjectives that end with the suffix “-less,” which typically means “without” or “lacking.” By completing the sentences, students learn how to use these adjectives in context, which enhances their vocabulary and grammatical knowledge. The exercise encourages critical thinking as students must choose words that not only fit the suffix rule but also make sense within each sentence’s context. The worksheet is likely aimed at elementary to intermediate level students who are building their understanding of English language word formation.
