Fix the Time Mix-Up

Students read ten sentences that contain incorrect uses of for and since and must correct each one by replacing the wrong preposition. After analyzing the intended meaning of each sentence, students rewrite the corrected version on the provided lines. This task strengthens editing skills and reinforces the difference between using for to show duration and since to show a starting point in time. Learners practice reading for accuracy and applying grammar conventions within complete sentences.
