Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "They use ___ blender every morning." Which word belongs here?

Answer: their

The word "their" shows possession, and "they" own the blender.

2. "I see a plane over ___ by the control tower!" Which word belongs here?

Answer: there

"There," in this case, needs to show direction. Also, if you aren't completely sure, just take away the bad choices. "They're" is a contraction of "they" and "are," and "their" shows possession, which only leaves one choice left, besides a color!

3. "I know that ___ from Argentina." Which word belongs here?

Answer: they're

The above sentence cannot have just one word in the blank, easily of course. This shows that "they're" needs to go in the blank, because it is a contraction.

4. "When she goes ___, she eats a lot of pie." Which word belongs here?

Answer: there

"There" is a word that can mean "a place," and people have to go to a place, not a thing, unless it is an event.

5. "People often use ___ spatulas." Which word belongs here?

Answer: their

"Their" shows possession, and "people" own the spatulas.

6. "Everybody knows that ___ very weird." Which word belongs here?

Answer: they're

This sentence is easier if you use elimination. "Their" is wrong because no one can own a "very!" There is wrong because there is no direction, and "pink" is just random.

7. "___ often on www.funtrivia.com." Which word belongs here?

Answer: they're

This sentence needs a verb, and the only choice with a verb is "they're."

8. "___ are many breeds of dogs." Which word belongs here?

Answer: there

This is a different way to use "there." "There" can be used with "is" or "are" to show a state of being.

9. "They took a picture with ___ camera." Which word belongs here?

Answer: their

"Their" is a showing of possession, and "they" own the camera.

10. "With ___ invention, everyone can use the internet." Which word belongs here?

Answer: their

Elimination would help here. "They're" is wrong, because no one can "be invention." "There" is not showing a place or state of being.

11. "When you get over ___, tell him I said hello." Which word belongs here?

Answer: there

In this situation, "there" is refering to a place.

12. "They know that ___ always on vacation." Which word belongs here?

Answer: they're

This sentence needs to have a verb before "always," and "they're" is the only choice with a verb.

13. "___ is a leaf on their tree." Which word belongs here?

Answer: there

"There" is being used with "is" to show a state of being.

14. "___ hair brush is over there." Which word belongs here?

Answer: their

"Their" is an adjective showing possession of the hair brush."

15. "They're always positive that ___ so smart." Which word belongs here?

Answer: they're

The word "are" can be used in conjunction with an adjective to describe something, and "they're" has the word "are" within it.
