Sentence Completion

Multiple Word Meanings #9

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a language activity focused on words that serve multiple meanings. Each question consists of a pair of sentences with a blank space, and the student must choose the word from a set of three options that fits both sentences appropriately. The correct word will be a homonym that has different meanings in each context. For example, in the first item, students must select a word that can mean both a certain quantity of ham and the action they will perform at the door until someone answers.

The worksheet is teaching students to recognize and understand homonyms, words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings based on the context. It is an exercise in critical thinking and vocabulary skills, as students must parse each sentence to determine which word can function correctly in both. This kind of activity helps students to improve their reading comprehension and enhances their ability to deduce meaning from context. Furthermore, it encourages a deeper understanding of the English language’s complexities, preparing students for more advanced language use.
