By and With Fix-Up

Students read ten sentences where by and with are used incorrectly. They rewrite each sentence so that by correctly identifies the person doing the action and with correctly identifies the tool or method used. This activity strengthens grammar skills by helping learners distinguish between agent and instrument within a sentence. It also develops editing and proofreading abilities as students adjust wording to make each sentence sound natural and logical. Through repeated targeted practice, students build confidence and accuracy in preposition use.
