Call us crazy (or just obsessed with English and logic), but we think sentence completions are just plain fun. What's more, they are a great way to expand your vocabulary and improve your skills in logic. This is because sentence completions, like many of the standardized test style questions on this site (analogies, antonyms, reading comprehension, etc.), are very much like puzzles. You have a picture of what the end product should look like, but you still need to rearrange the pieces until you can realize that picture. Scroll down to view our complete list of sentence completion worksheets appropriate for all ages and ability levels. In the printable sentence completion worksheets below, students must select the best words from a list of 5 answer choices to fill empty blanks in sentences. Some sentences contain a single blank, while others contain two. These worksheets are very effective in improving vocabulary, syntax, and ones understanding of conjunctions as syntactical "road signs".

This is because the connotation of the first clause is continued. However, when the conjunction is but the correct answer is hate. This is because the connotation of the first clause is not continued in the second clause; it gets inverted due to the role played by the conjunction, but.
