I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Words and Sentences 3 with answer key.
The first one in the series came out 7 months ago.This one focuses on the affixes -ence and -ance, which are difficult when it comes to spelling because they generally sound the same, if root is ant, then we use ance and if the root is ent we use ence, but English seems to have exceptions everywhere. The key is on page two.
