One Word Substitution Worksheet
Word tip (Many words → one word): Read every part of the phrase: who or what, and what is special about it. Think of word endings that help: -ible / -able (can be done), -ist (a person), -ary / -ium (a place), -vore (an eater). Check that the word matches the whole phrase, not just part of it.
