Time Tricksters

In this worksheet, students practice distinguishing between the prepositions for and during by circling the correct option in each sentence. Each item requires learners to determine whether the sentence describes a duration of time or an event that something happened within. As they read each sentence, students analyze context clues to decide which preposition conveys the intended meaning. This strengthens their understanding of time-related grammar and improves their ability to use precise language. The activity promotes careful reading, decision-making, and knowledge of English conventions.
