I thought we’d have some fun with words today. Here are a list of sentences, each with a “miss steak” in them. Can you spot the errors? If you can, get your kids and let them have a go!
1. I except your challenge to compete in the race with one hand tied behind my back!
2. Your pleas for mercy had no effect on him.
3. What am I suppose to do about her?
4. He came towards me with a look of sadness.
5. The medicine didn’t affect her sleep, but she did have several other side effects.
6. I could care less if he doesn’t take me to the dance!
7. For all intensive purposes, I am no longer an employee of Acme Bubble Company.
8. It was then that I knew that the pizza was more than I could eat.
9. I was unable to illicit any information from the police due to the ongoing investigation.
10. I use to be able to recite all the state capitols in two minutes.
I’ll be posting the answers tomorrow!
