3. I ____ I just ____ the bus!
[ ] think and mised
[ ] thik and missed
[ ] fink and missed

Although the word 'think' has a 'n' in it, you don't necessarily hear it when you say the word.
4. Go to the ____ and ____ me a spoon please.
[x] kitchen and fetch
[ ] citchen and fetch
[ ] kitckhen and fetch

Both these words have the 'tch' sound.
5. I will ____ this puppy as much ____ as it needs!
[ ] gife and love
[ ] give and luv
[x] give and love
[ ] giv and lov
Both these words end with a 'v' and if a word ends with that sound, it is almost always followed by a silent 'e'.
6. ____ for all those ____ of chocolates!
[ ] Thank's and boxes
[ ] Thanks and box's
[ ] Thanks and boxs
[x] Thanks and boxes
An apostrophe should only be used to show a letter is missing or if someone owns something - a box can't own anything!
7. I ____ the bee to stop ____ near my ear.
[ ] arsked and buzzing
[x] asked and buzzing
[ ] akked and buzzing
[ ] asked and buzing
The word asked is a high frequency word, this means you'll use it a lot in your writing, so it's worth remembering how to spell it!
8. I'm afraid it will ____ on ____.
[ ] rayn and Thursday
[ ] rain and Thersday
[ ] rane and Thursday
[x] rain and Thursday
If you write a day of the week or a month name, you should always start that word with a capital letter.
9. What is the ____ of tennis if you don't ____ it?
[x] point and enjoy
[ ] point and injoy
[ ] poynt and enjoy
[ ] poynt and injoy
It's a fair comment - you should only play a sport if you enjoy it as that is the whole point! Also, you should be prepared to lose as it happens to everyone.
10. I would ____ to ____ the world.
[ ] lik and sayle
[ ] lik and sail
[x] like and sail
[ ] like and sale
There are two words that sound the same: sale and sail. Sail is to do with boats and sale means items are now cheaper.
