Last but not least today, here is a worksheet on differentiating us and we when writing sentences with these two first-person plural pronouns. As you can see, the work here involves, basically, understanding the difference between the nominative and objective cases when using personal pronouns. Like any of the documents that you find on this blog under the header Common Errors in English Usage, the supporting text for this worksheet is derived from Paul Brians’ book of the same name, which he has generously made available at no cost at the Washington State University website.

This worksheet contains Professor Brians’ text with ten modified cloze exercises to give students a chance to try their hand at using these pronouns. As always, or almost always, this document is formatted in Microsoft Word, so you can alter it to your class’s needs.

Here is a worksheet on differentiating the use of turn into and turn in to. Like the other 100 or so of these I will post or already have posted, the text for this document is excerpted from Paul Brians’ handy usage guide, which he has posted online in its entirety–under this link–Common Errors in English Usage.

This is an area of usage that it will serve students very well, in life and work, to know. The worksheet is scaffolded, with five modified cloze exercises, then a blank field on which students may try their hands at extemporaneously writing sentences using these two verb phrases–or phrasal verbs, really.
