Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the adjectives.
Remember: An adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It tells us more about what something is like — its size, color, number, taste, etc.

Sentence 1: *The large tree was cut down.*
→ “large” describes the tree →
adjective
Sentence 2: *Five cute kittens ran across the carpet.*
→ “Five” tells how many kittens →
adjective (number)
→ “cute” describes the kittens →
adjective
Sentence 3: *He wore his new shoes to school.*
→ “new” describes the shoes →
adjective
Sentence 4: *The birds flew in the blue sky.*
→ “blue” describes the sky →
adjective
Sentence 5: *She likes to eat sweet food.*
→ “sweet” describes the food →

Sentence 6: *There was yummy cake at the party.*

Now let’s list all the adjectives we found:
1. large
2. Five, cute
3. new
4. blue
5. sweet
6. yummy
7. blue
Note: In sentence 2, both “Five” and “cute” are adjectives. “Five” is a numeral adjective (telling quantity), and “cute” is a descriptive adjective.
Also note: “blue” appears twice — once in sentence 4 and again in sentence 7. That’s okay — it’s still an adjective each time.

Final Answer:
1. large
2. Five, cute
3. new
4. blue
5. sweet
6. yummy
7. blue
