Answer sheet

1. They're — 'They are going to the beach' makes sense, so the contraction 'they're' is correct.
2. its — The tail belongs to the kitten, so use the possessive 'its'. 'It is tail' makes no sense.
3. too — 'Too much' means more than enough.
4. there — 'Over there' is a place, and 'there' contains 'here'.
5. You're welcome to stay. — 'You are welcome to stay' makes sense, so the contraction 'you're' is correct.
6. here — It is a place. You hear with your ear.
7. brake — A brake slows or stops a vehicle. To break something is to smash or damage it.
8. piece — A piece of pie. Peace means calm or no fighting.
