Explanation:
Let’s solve this step by step.
Part 1: Circle the adjectives.
Remember: Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things, or ideas). They tell us *what kind*, *how many*, or *which one*.
Look at each sentence:
1. *I play with the red ball.*
→ “red” describes “ball” →
✔ adjective
2. *He eats healthy food.*
→ “healthy” describes “food” →
✔ adjective
3. *The small cat is sleeping.*
→ “small” describes “cat” →
✔ adjective
4. *She is a young teacher.*
→ “young” describes “teacher” →
✔ adjective
5. *They like reading funny books.*
→ “funny” describes “books” →
✔ adjective
6. *The girls in my classroom are clever.*
→ “clever” describes “girls” →
✔ adjective
So all the bolded words (red, healthy, small, young, funny, clever) are adjectives.
Part 2: Complete the sentences with your adjectives.
We need to fill in blanks with appropriate adjectives — words that describe the noun after the blank.
1. *I am watching a ________ movie with my friends.*
→ We need an adjective for “movie”. Examples: exciting, scary, funny, boring, old, new.
A good common choice:
funny
2. *Tom has got a ________ bike.*
→ Describes “bike”: fast, shiny, blue, old, broken, cool.
Let’s pick:
blue
3. *My ________ sock has got a hole in it.*
→ Describes “sock”: left, right, favorite, old, dirty, striped.
Good simple choice:
old
4. *This ________ book is boring.*
→ Describes “book”: thick, thin, long, short, history, science — but we want something that fits naturally with “boring”. Maybe:
long (long books can feel boring), or
old, or
textbook — but “textbook” is a noun used as adjective (ok), but better to use pure adjective. Let’s choose:
long
5. *His sister has got ________ eyes.*
→ Describes “eyes”: big, small, brown, blue, green, bright.
Common and safe:
big
6. *This pillow is so ________ that I want to sleep on it.*
→ Describes how the pillow feels: soft, comfy, fluffy, warm.
Best fit:
soft (or “comfortable”, but “soft” is simpler and fits “so ___” well).
Now double-check:
- All chosen words are adjectives.
- They make sense in context.
- They’re age-appropriate for school level.
Final selections:
1. funny
2. blue
3. old
4. long
5. big
6. soft
(Other correct answers are possible — e.g., “scary” for #1, “shiny” for #2 — but these are standard, clear choices.)
Final Answer:
1. funny
2. blue
3. old
4. long
5. big
6. soft
