Adjectives online exercise for Grade 5 - Free Printable

Let's solve this Adjectives Worksheet step by step.

We are given a list of adjectives to choose from:

- purple
- loud
- clever
- brave
- scary
- funny
- scrumptious

We need to drag and drop the correct adjective into each sentence to make it meaningful and logical.

---

Sentence 1:

"The ______ fireman rescued the cat from the tree."

- Think about what kind of fireman would rescue a cat — someone courageous.
- The best fit is: brave

✔ Answer: *brave*

---

Sentence 2:

"My friends and I are going to watch a ______ movie."

- This could be any type of movie, but we have options like *scary*, *funny*, etc.
- Since no context is given, we can pick one that fits well with "watching a movie."
- But let’s look at other sentences — maybe we can save some for later.
- Let's keep this in mind.

Possible choices: *scary*, *funny* — both common movie types.

But let's see which ones are used elsewhere.

---

Sentence 3:

"My friend likes to read ______ books about fairies."

- Books about fairies are often magical or imaginative.
- What kind of books? Likely funny or scary, but fairies are usually not scary.
- “Funny” is possible, but more commonly fairy stories are clever or magical — but “clever” is an option.
- However, clever doesn't go well with "books" — we say clever person, not clever books.
- Wait — “funny” could work: funny books about fairies.
- Or “scary”? Less likely — fairies aren’t usually scary.
- Actually, “funny” is a good fit here.

Wait — let's think again. “Clever” might describe a character, but not a book directly.

But “funny” works: “funny books about fairies.”

Alternatively, “scary” might be too strong.

But there’s also “scrumptious” — that means delicious, so doesn’t go with books.

So best fit: funny

✔ Answer: *funny*

---

Sentence 4:

"Mom and dad are going out for a ______ dinner."

- What kind of dinner? “Scrumptious” means delicious — perfect!
- So: “a scrumptious dinner”

✔ Answer: *scrumptious*

---

Sentence 5:

"Our ______ teacher gave us homework."

- A teacher who gives homework — is that a *clever* teacher?
- Or *brave*? No, that doesn’t make sense.
- *Loud*? Maybe, but not likely.
- *Clever* — yes! A clever teacher might give smart homework.
- *Brave*? Not really.
- *Scary*? Possibly, but not the best choice.
- But “clever” fits well.

Alternatively, “loud” or “scary” could be used if the teacher is loud or intimidating.

But “clever” is more positive and makes sense.

Wait — is there another better option?

“Clever” = intelligent — a clever teacher giving homework makes sense.

Yes.

✔ Answer: *clever*

---

Sentence 6:

"My ______ sock has a hole in it."

- Socks come in colors — so “purple” makes sense.
- “Purple sock” — yes, very common.
- Other adjectives don’t make sense: loud sock? brave sock? No.
- So only possible answer: purple

✔ Answer: *purple*

---

Sentence 7:

"Does ______ music hurt your ears?"

- Music that hurts ears → loud music
- “Loud music” is a common phrase
- “Scary music”? Possible, but doesn’t necessarily hurt ears.
- “Brave music”? No meaning.
- So clearly: loud

✔ Answer: *loud*

---

Now let’s check what’s left.

Used so far:
- brave → sentence 1
- funny → sentence 3
- scrumptious → sentence 4
- clever → sentence 5
- purple → sentence 6
- loud → sentence 7

That leaves: scary

But wait — we didn’t use scary yet.

Let’s go back to sentence 2:

> "My friends and I are going to watch a ______ movie."

We had options: scary, funny, etc.

But we already used funny in sentence 3.

But we can reuse words? No — it says “drag and drop” — implies each word used once.

So we must use each adjective only once.

Let’s list all:

- purple ✔ (sentence 6)
- loud ✔ (sentence 7)
- clever ✔ (sentence 5)
- brave ✔ (sentence 1)
- scary ✘ (not used yet)
- funny ✔ (sentence 3)
- scrumptious ✔ (sentence 4)

So scary is left — and it must go in sentence 2.

So sentence 2: “My friends and I are going to watch a scary movie.”

That makes sense — a scary movie is a common type.

Even though we used “funny” earlier, “scary” is still a valid choice.

And now all adjectives are used exactly once.
