Commonly Confused Words Worksheets, Homophones Practice Grades 4 to 6 With Answer Keys

32 sets of words that get mixed up, for about grades 4 to 6, such as their, there and they're, affect and effect, and lose and loose. 72 worksheet pages, 72 answer keys, 149 pages in all.

Each set has two pages. The first gives what each word means, an example, and four sentences with a wrong word to cross out and fix. The second has ten sentences to fill in, each written to take only one word from the set. Eight mixed review pages at the end bring sets together.

The key has the word in green. On the fill-in pages it also gives the reason in a few words, such as "it means more than is wanted" for too.

The sentences were written for this set. A second AI pass filled in each one without seeing the key, and its answers were compared with the key. A script tested some sets by grammar rule as well, such as than after a comparing word.

Print settings for this PDF
Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, not in a browser tab. Browsers can change the scale without telling you.
In the print window, pick the paper size that matches the file name.
In Acrobat Reader, set Page Sizing to Actual Size. In Preview, set Scale to 100%. If the edges get cut off, switch to Fit in Acrobat Reader or Scale to Fit in Preview.
Print one page first and check it before you print the rest.
To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.
For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

A4 or US Letter
US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). It is the usual paper in the United States and Canada.
A4 is 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). It is the usual paper in most other countries.
The paper size is in each file name. Print the one that matches the paper in your printer.
If you only have the other size, use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window. The page will come out slightly smaller, with wider margins.

HOW AI WAS USED
AI helped write the sentences, meanings, clues, the listing text, the how-to text and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: one blank in each sentence, an answer from the set, no repeated sentences, grammar rules for some sets, and that a key equals its page plus green. A second AI pass filled in the sentences without seeing the key, and its answers were compared with the key. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
