Which Word?
- Alphabet Soup
- Self Publishing
- World of Words
"Died" means deceased. To "dye" something is to color it.
To "lessen" is to reduce, while a "lesson" is something that is taught.
"Emigrate" means to exit a country, while "immigrate" means to enter. Typically, "immigrate" is used with the preposition "to," and "emigrate" is used with the preposition "from."
"Then" is a word denoting time or time relationships. "Than" is a conjunction used to make comparisons.
To get "through" is to come out on the other side of something, while "threw" is the past tense of "throw."
"They're" is a contraction of the words "they" and "are," while "their" is a possessive term.
To "meet" is to be introduced to someone.
To "roll" is to rotate, while a "role" is a part to play.
"Breathe" is the action of breathing, while "breath" is the air we take in and out.
This word is not a possessive, and so no apostrophe is necessary.
Each game consists of ten sentences with a word missing (represented by a blank line in the sentence). After the sentence appears, two words will appear on the screen. Your job will be to select the word which best fits the context of the sentence. Click the correct word to complete the sentence.
Work quickly but accurately; your score is based on how many questions you answer correctly, and how much time it took to complete each question.
