Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
underline or circle the adjectives in each sentence.
🔹 What is an adjective?
An
adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It gives us more information about the noun — such as size, color, shape, age, emotion, etc.
---
Now let’s go through each sentence and identify the adjectives:
---
1. The large tree was cut down.
-
"large" describes the
tree → it tells us the size of the tree.
✔ Adjective: large
---
2. Five cute kittens ran across the carpet.
-
"Five" is a number, but it describes how many kittens → it's a
quantifier, which can be considered an adjective (specifically a
number adjective).
-
"cute" describes the kittens → it tells us their appearance/quality.
✔ Adjectives: five, cute
> Note: "five" is an adjective here because it modifies the noun "kittens".
---
3. He wore his new shoes to school.
-
"new" describes the
shoes → tells us their condition or age.
✔ Adjective: new
> Note: "his" is a possessive pronoun, not an adjective in the traditional sense (though some grammar systems classify possessive pronouns as adjectives), but in basic grammar, we often focus on descriptive adjectives like "new".
---
4. The birds flew in the blue sky.
-
"blue" describes the
sky → tells us its color.
✔ Adjective: blue
---
5. She likes to eat sweet food.
-
"sweet" describes the
food → tells us its taste.
✔ Adjective: sweet
---
6. There was yummy cake at the party.
-
"yummy" describes the
cake → tells us how it tastes (pleasant).
✔ Adjective: yummy
---
7. Mary had blue eyes.
-
"blue" describes the
eyes → tells us their color.
✔ Adjective: blue
---
✔ Final Answers:
Underline or circle the following adjectives:
1.

3.
