English Quiz - Spelling: -le (Questions)

Time for a KS2 English spelling quiz, testing words ending in le, el, and al! Are angels and angles the same? We don't measure angels in a triangle! Many English words end in '-le' or 'el', and some end in '-al'. Knowing the difference makes your writing neat, clear, and easy to read.

Look at these words: candle, panel, and sandal. They sound the same at the end but have different spellings. No strict rules here, so keep practising until you're a spelling whiz!
