Sentence Fix-Ups Worksheet Pack

Capitalise the first word of a sentence and proper nouns, correcting starts such as "the puppy am cute" and names written "Grandma ann" or "mr meow"

Match a verb to its subject, replacing forms such as "the boy am sad", "ants be very small" and "the apples is Red"

Use I rather than me as a subject, rewriting "me likes pizza", "me sees an elephant" and "me wish i could lives in an real Castle"

Choose between a and an by the sound that follows, fixing "an gag", "an cupcake" and "a apple"

Apply end punctuation, adding the full stop missing from "do You like bats" and removing the question mark wrongly placed on "cow give us milk?"

Correct homophone and spelling slips including two/too, no/know, for/four, our/are, knew/new, nite, shur, bloo and bigg

The corrected form of every fix-it sentence sits on the strip page that opens its group of three pages, so a group can self-check by turning back one page

Work through the pack in order if difficulty matters: the opening strips are four- and five-word sentences with short-vowel words (gag, sap, yams), while the later ones run to two clauses

Each fix-it sentence occupies a half page with its own Name line, so one sheet can be cut in two and given to two students

Several sentences carry more than one fault at once — "i will brings a apple to shool to gives too my teacher" holds five — so decide in advance whether students must find every error or only the type being taught

The final page is blank apart from two Name lines, which gives matching paper for a sentence the teacher supplies or a student writes

Sentence editing — students take a printed sentence carrying deliberate faults and rewrite it correctly, sixty-eight times over the pack.

Capitalisation — the broken sentences drop the opening capital and add wrong ones mid-sentence ("the Boy am sad", "this Walrus has too big tusk"), so students must fix both directions.

Subject–verb agreement — forms such as am, be, is and has are attached to the wrong subjects in "ants be very small", "cow give us milk" and "we has a gnome on the Grass".

Pronoun case — sentences repeatedly substitute me and mine for I and my, as in "me sees three egg" and "me big Sister have her own cell phone".

Homophone correction — students replace two for too, no for know, for for four, our for are and knew for new inside running sentences rather than in isolation.

End punctuation — some sentences are missing their stop entirely and others carry a question mark on a statement, so students decide the mark from the sentence's meaning.
