Starter Words Worksheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a list of eight different nouns and asks students to use each one in a sentence that includes either “hanged” or “hung.” The nouns vary from objects like “ornaments” to concepts like “smoke.” There are no images or additional context provided, leaving it up to the student to determine the appropriate context for each word. The activity encourages students to think about the appropriate use of these two forms of the past tense of “hang.”

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to differentiate between “hanged” and “hung” by applying them in sentences that they construct themselves. It aims to reinforce the concept that “hanged” is generally used in the context of execution or death by hanging, while “hung” is used for all other references to suspending or attaching something from above. By using a variety of nouns that could logically be associated with either word, students are challenged to think critically about word choice. This task helps build their grammar skills and deepens their understanding of English verb conjugation.
