Write words to complete a text

You have to write the correct word(s) to complete a text.

  • Read the whole text. It’s important to understand what the text is about.
  • Read the whole sentence before and after the gap.
  • Before you look at the options do you know what type of word is missing? Is it a noun? A verb? A preposition? etc.
  • Read the whole sentence with your word. Does your word make sense in the sentence?
  • Check that your word is grammatically correct in the sentence.
  • If you don’t know an answer, guess. You may be right!
  • Check your answers carefully when you finish.
  • Missing words are often auxiliary verbs, pronouns, relative pronouns, articles, quantifiers, prepositions, phrasal verbs, modals and linking words ...
