This Grade 4 Easy 1 worksheet introduces advanced homophones such as affect and effect, accept and except, principal and principle, weather and whether, and who's and whose. Students complete sentence-correction items, fill-in-the-blank questions, and short-answer prompts that ask them to explain word choices clearly. The worksheet builds Grade 4 vocabulary, supports CCSS L.4.5, and helps learners use careful word selection to communicate accurately in classroom writing tasks.

Affect is usually a verb meaning to influence, while effect is usually a noun meaning a result. For example: Rain can affect our recess plans. The effect of studying is a better Grade 4 test score.
