This worksheet builds real-world editing skills by guiding Class 7 learners through paragraph-level grammar correction. From verb tense fixes to punctuation, spelling, and usage errors, students become more confident in recognizing and revising errors in context — just like real editors!
Correcting full paragraphs helps students:
1. Recognize multiple error types in realistic writing.
2. Improve grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage in one go.
3. Think critically about how to make writing clearer and more correct.
4. Build skills required for academic writing and exam editing tasks.
This worksheet features five integrated grammar and editing exercises:
✏️ Exercise 1 – Grammar Correction
Students correct verb tense and agreement errors in short passages. Example: “The boys was sitting…” → “The boys were sitting…”
🔠 Exercise 2 – Spelling Corrections
Learners rewrite paragraphs after fixing spelling errors like “freind,” “exibition,” and “planits” to “friend,” “exhibition,” and “planets.”
🔤 Exercise 3 – Capitalization and Punctuation
Each short paragraph lacks punctuation and capital letters. Students correct all mechanics, turning run-ons into complete, properly punctuated sentences.
🔁 Exercise 4 – Confusing Words
Using brackets, students pick the correct word from homophones and commonly confused pairs such as *their/there*, *cite/site*, and *whether/weather*.
🧠 Exercise 5 – Mixed Errors
Each paragraph contains one error from each category — grammar, punctuation, usage, and spelling. Students identify and correct all four in each.
