Error Correction Sentences

This error correction worksheet supports students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 as they strengthen grammar accuracy, sentence editing, and understanding of commonly confused words. By rewriting sentences that incorrectly use then and than, learners practice identifying errors, applying correct word usage, and revising writing for clarity and correctness.

• Word Usage & Context: Students analyze sentence meaning to choose the correct word.
• Writing Mechanics & Accuracy: Learners reinforce clear, correct sentence construction.
