Worksheet Overview

An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of other words.

For example:

 

scuba divers

 

The word scuba is an acronym for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.

 

Other types of abbreviations like USA (for the United States of America) are often considered to be acronyms as well these days, even though we pronounce them as separate letters.

 

USA Flag

 

We use a great many acronyms and abbreviations in English without even realising it.
