Clear the Confusion! Mastering Tricky Contractions and Homophones for Class 2
This Class 2 worksheet helps children confidently use commonly confused word pairs such as they’re/there/their, it’s/its, and you’re/your.

Through MCQs, True/False checks, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence correction, and a meaningful passage-editing activity, children build the ability to recognize and apply the correct confusing contraction or possessive form in context. The examples are simple, relatable, and designed to remove confusion step by step.
