Storytime Gaps

This worksheet requires students to read short story excerpts and fill in the blanks with either for or during to make each sentence complete and meaningful. Students must evaluate whether the sentence describes how long something lasted or when something took place within another event. By examining the surrounding details, learners strengthen their grammatical accuracy and comprehension skills. The task reinforces the appropriate use of time prepositions and encourages students to think critically about sentence structure and clarity.
