This second medium Grade 5 worksheet builds on tricky homophone pairs with capital, capitol, aisle, isle, weather, whether, accept, and except. Nine fill-in sentences place each word in real settings such as state government, supermarkets, weddings, and weather forecasts. Students rely on contextual clues to decide between sound-alike spellings. A four-item matching task connects definitions to capital, isle, whether, and except. The activity reinforces precise word choice, important for content area reading and writing across subjects.
