Try a sample Spelling question
Question 1 — Easy
Choose the correctly spelled word to complete the sentence: The zoo carer looked after all of the _____ in her care.
Answer: The correct spelling is 'animals' — AN-i-mals. Three syllables: AN + I + MALS. The vowel in '-mals' is 'a'. Option B ('animels') changes 'a' to 'e' in '-als'. Option C ('annmals') doubles the 'n'. Option D ('animuls') changes 'a' to 'u' in '-als'.
Question 2 — Medium
The farmer ___ checked on all the animals before the sun went down. Which spelling is correct?
Answer: 'Always' is the correct spelling. It comes from 'all' + 'ways', but the double 'l' is shortened to one 'l': al-ways. Option A ('alwas') drops the 'y'. Option C ('allways') keeps the double 'l' from 'all'. Option D ('alwayes') adds an extra 'e'.
Question 3 — Hard
The teacher said she had never ___ more creative artwork from the class. Which spelling is correct?
Answer: 'Been' is the correct spelling — it is the past participle of the verb 'be', used with 'had' to form the past perfect tense: 'had never been'. Option A ('bean') is a vegetable — a homophone of 'been'. Option B ('bene') is not a word. Option D ('bein') is not a word either.
