How this list was compiled: Written for this page on 2026-10-03: sentences about the things of Thanksgiving Day at home and at school (the meal, the parade, the trip to see family, and saying thank you). The story of the first feast is not retold and nothing is about faith. The plural of every noun in the plural rows was checked in its entry at en.wiktionary.org (license CC BY-SA 4.0) on 2026-10-03, and a noun with two accepted plurals was left out; the irregular past forms were checked in the same dictionary that day. Every whom follows a word such as to, for, with or from. A sentence marked needs a comma opens with a clause or lists three things and is missing the comma after the clause or between the first two things. The grades are our suggestion and no standard is quoted. No brand or character is named, and no published worksheet was copied. Licence: own work

Read the full guide

Grades 2 to 5

This set is on the sheet when the page opens. Four kinds of row take turns: is the word in brackets a noun, verb or adjective; which verb suits yesterday, right now or tomorrow; a or an; and which plural is spelled right, such as turkeys, knives and geese.

Middle school Thanksgiving grammar worksheet

Choose Middle school under Set. Some sentences are whole and get the label correct or needs a comma. The rest have a blank for its or it's, who or whom, or a pronoun: The oven lost ___ heat when I opened the door.

Answer key

The last page repeats the sheet with every right choice circled. Uncheck Add an answer key as the last page under More options to print the sentences alone.

Every whom here comes straight after to, for, with, from or about.
No noun with two accepted plurals is used, so each plural row has one right spelling.
