This question tests CCSS.L.4.1.g: correctly using frequently confused words like to/too/two, there/their/they're, your/you're, its/it's, than/then, hear/here, and know/no. Students must choose the correct word based on its meaning in context. YOUR / YOU'RE: YOUR means possession ('your book' = belongs to you), YOU'RE is contraction of 'you are' (test: can you say 'you are'?). In this sentence, "Keisha said, 'Your going to win!'" the context is Keisha telling someone that they are going to win, but 'Your' is incorrectly used instead of the contraction. The meaning needed is the contraction 'you are' to replace the underlined word, which tells us which word to use. Choice B is correct because "you're" means 'you are' which matches what the sentence needs. You can replace it with 'you are' and the sentence still makes sense. The apostrophe shows letters have been left out from 'you are.' Choice A represents the wrong word from the confused set, which occurs when students forget YOUR is possession while YOU'RE means you are. Using "your" means possession like 'belongs to you' which doesn't fit the context. To help students: Create memory aids - YOUR=belongs to you; YOU'RE=you are - use apostrophe test. Practice substitution tests: For contractions, expand them (you're → you are - does it work?). Watch for: writing YOUR when meaning 'you are' (need YOU'RE).

This question tests CCSS.L.4.1.g: correctly using frequently confused words like to/too/two, there/their/they're, your/you're, its/it's, than/then, hear/here, and know/no. Students must choose the correct word based on its meaning in context. TO / TOO / TWO: TO means direction ('going to school') or is part of verb ('to run'), TOO means 'also' ('me too') or 'excessive' ('too hot'), and TWO is the number 2. In this sentence, 'Maya has ___ red markers in her pencil box,' the context is about counting the number of markers. The meaning needed is the number 2, which tells us which word to use. Choice C is correct because 'two' means the number 2 which matches what the sentence needs. The sentence is about the number 2, so we use TWO. Choice B represents a wrong word from the confused set, which occurs when students confuse the three words that sound alike. Using 'too' would mean 'also' or 'excessive' which doesn't fit the context. To help students: Create memory aids - TO=direction, TOO='also' or 'excessive' has extra O like 'too much,' TWO=number has W like 'two words'. Practice substitution tests: For numbers, ask if it's counting something. Watch for: using TO when meaning 'also' (should be TOO), confusing the homophones TO/TOO/TWO (sound alike, different meanings). Have students read sentences aloud to check if the meaning fits, like replacing with 'the number 2' for TWO.

This question tests CCSS.L.4.1.g: correctly using frequently confused words like to/too/two, there/their/they're, your/you're, its/it's, than/then, hear/here, and know/no. Students must choose the correct word based on its meaning in context. THERE / THEIR / THEY'RE: THERE means location ('over there') or 'exists' ('there is'), THEIR means possession ('their book' = belongs to them), THEY'RE is contraction of 'they are' (test: can you say 'they are'?). In this sentence, '___ going to put the backpacks in the cubbies,' the context is about people performing an action in the future. The meaning needed is the contraction meaning 'they are,' which tells us which word to use. Choice B is correct because 'they're' means 'they are' which matches what the sentence needs. You can replace it with 'they are' and the sentence still makes sense. The apostrophe shows letters have been left out from 'they are.' Choice A represents a wrong word from the confused set, which occurs when students confuse possession with contraction. Using 'their' would mean belonging to them which doesn't fit the context. To help students: Create memory aids - THERE has 'here' - both about place; THEIR has 'heir' - inheriting=owning; THEY'RE=they are - test it. Practice substitution tests: For contractions, expand them (they're → they are - does it work?). For possessives, ask 'who owns it?' Watch for: confusing THERE/THEIR/THEY'RE (sound alike, different meanings). Have students read sentences aloud with full contraction ('they are going' for they're) to check if it makes sense.

TO / TOO / TWO: TO means direction ('going to school') or is part of verb ('to run'), TOO means 'also' ('me too') or 'excessive' ('too hot'), and TWO is the number 2. In this sentence, "Maya has ___ kittens at home," the context is about how many kittens Maya owns at her house. The meaning needed is the number 2, which tells us which word to use. Choice B is correct because "two" means the number 2 which matches what the sentence needs. The sentence is about the number of kittens, so we use TWO. Choice A represents the wrong word from the confused set, which occurs when students confuse the three words that sound alike. Using "too" would mean 'also' or 'excessive' which doesn't fit the context. To help students: Create memory aids - TO=direction, TOO='also' or 'excessive' has extra O like 'too much,' TWO=number has W like 'two words'. Practice substitution tests: For number, see if it's counting something. Watch for: using TO when meaning 'also' (should be TOO), confusing the homophones TO/TOO/TWO that sound alike but have different meanings.

This question tests CCSS.L.4.1.g: correctly using frequently confused words like to/too/two, there/their/they're, your/you're, its/it's, than/then, hear/here, and know/no. Students must choose the correct word based on its meaning in context. KNOW / NO: KNOW means understand ('I know that'), NO is negative ('no cookies'). In this sentence, "I ___ there is ___ more juice left in the fridge," the context for the first blank is about having knowledge or understanding of a fact. The meaning needed is understand, which tells us which word to use. Choice B is correct because know means understand which matches what the sentence needs for the first blank. The sentence is about knowing a fact, so we use know. Choice A represents a wrong meaning, which occurs when students confuse know and no. Using no would mean negative which doesn't fit the understanding context. To help students: Create memory aids - KNOW=knowledge (has 'know' like 'now'); NO=negative (short and direct). Practice asking: Is it about awareness or denial? Watch for: mixing up homophones know/no, using no for knowledge. Have students read sentences and substitute 'understand' for know or 'none' for no to check.

This question tests CCSS.L.4.1.g: correctly using frequently confused words like to/too/two, there/their/they're, your/you're, its/it's, than/then, hear/here, and know/no. Students must choose the correct word based on its meaning in context. ARE / OUR: ARE is a verb form ('we are'), OUR means possession ('our book' = belongs to us); they are homophones that sound alike but have different meanings. In this sentence, "We ___ cleaning ___ classroom after art," the context for the first blank is part of a verb phrase describing an action. The meaning needed is the verb 'are,' which tells us which word to use. Choice B is correct because are is the verb form which matches what the sentence needs for the first blank. The sentence describes an action, so we use are. Choice A represents homophone mix-up, which occurs when students confuse the verb are with possession our. Using our would mean belonging to us which doesn't fit the verb context. To help students: Create memory aids - ARE=action verb (like 'are you'); OUR=ownership (has 'our' like 'hour' but means possession). Practice substitution tests: For verb, expand to 'we are'; for possession, ask 'who owns it?' Watch for: mixing up homophones are/our, using our as a verb. Have students read sentences aloud and check if it's an action or ownership.

In this sentence, "___ going to put the bikes in the garage," the context is about people performing an action of placing bikes somewhere. The meaning needed is the contraction meaning they are, which tells us which word to use. Choice C is correct because they're means 'they are' which matches what the sentence needs.
