Conjunctions and Prepositions: Fixing Punctuation, Word Choice, and Capitals
Made for Jordan
Twelve sentences about campers, model rockets, science fairs, and soccer practice. Jordan picks out the conjunction in one, the preposition in another, and the proper noun in a third, chooses the sentence with correct punctuation, and rewrites two sentences with the capitals and punctuation fixed.
Skills on this worksheet
- Identify conjunctions (and, but) and what they join
- Identify prepositions (inside, under, near) and the phrases they start
- Recognize interjections and proper nouns
- Choose the sentence with correct punctuation or word choice
- Rewrite a sentence with correct capitals and end punctuation
Question types: Find the word, yes or no, circle the correct sentence, fill in the blank, and two rewrites.
Three of the questions
- Which word is the preposition in this sentence? The map is inside the backpack.
- Rewrite the sentence with correct capital letters: jordan and mia built a small bridge for the science fair.
- Choose the best conjunction to complete the sentence: The team practiced passing, ______ they practiced shooting.
The answer key gives the answer to every question and, for the worked example at the top, the reasoning behind it.
How it was personalized
Jordan shows up by name in a sentence about a science fair bridge, and the rest of the sentences draw on things Jordan has been studying: planets, camping, team sports. The mechanics being checked are the standard upper elementary set.
