Can You Pass An Impossible Spelling Drill For Kids?

9/15. Ashamed that I did so badly!

Susan Lake-Harris, That is not the standard British spelling. The British (and everyone else in standard English) spell "pastime" with a single 's' (p-a-s-t-i-m-e), not two 's's as "passtime," though it's a COMMON MISSPELLING because it comes from "pass time" (to spend time) and means an enjoyable activity to "pass the time". The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) spells it as pastime, as a single, combined word.

Quite amusing and with as !!

Got them all correct, again mainly because I have done this quiz a bunch of times.

14 / 15 ¡Gracias....!!!

Wow. 14 out off 15. Prety good gueswork..

13 / 15. You passed a kids' spelling drill! Not proud of my result seeing as I made 2 mistakes!

Susan Lake-Harris, and it's now considered acceptable in Australia and the UK - but not when I was in school (about 50 years ago). LoL.

In Aussie and UK English, it's passtime (i.e., something you might do to pass the time), however, I've read a few US books so knew it was acceptable spelling to not use double-s.

11/15. Made a few unlucky mistakes

13 / 15. I made 2 silly mistakes!

Passed this easy test.

Thank you for answers.
