About fill the gap questions

Fill-the-gap questions (sometimes called cloze questions) test whether your child can use a word correctly in context. The sentence usually holds a clue to the meaning that is needed.

Tips

  • Read the whole sentence first and find the clue words.
  • Check the grammar: the missing word must fit as a noun, verb, adjective or adverb.
  • Read the sentence again with your answer in place to make sure it sounds right.
