Of and Off: The Lemonade Stand

Welcome to the Lemonade Stand! Millie, Zoe and Mia are pouring pitchers of cold lemonade under the striped yellow awning, and a few lemons have rolled off the counter onto the grass.

Remember: Of has one f. It is a little joining word: “a cup of lemonade”, “a bag of lemons”. Off has two f’s. It is the opposite of on: “Please turn off the tap.”

Magic trick: Say “on and off” out loud: you can hear the f at the end of off, so give it two f’s. Of ends with a v sound and only joins words together, so one f is enough.
