Adjective Worksheets | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Let's solve this Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet step by step. The goal is to:

1. Circle the adjective in each sentence.
2. Underline the noun(s) that the adjective describes.
3. Then, write two original sentences — one describing a person and one describing a thing — and circle the adjectives.

🔹 Part 1: Circle the adjective and underline the noun it describes

We'll go through each sentence.

> → Circle: red

2. The dog found a large stick.

3. My mom is a pretty lady.

4. The little tree is easy to climb.

- This sentence has two adjectives:
- *little* → describes the tree
- *easy* → describes the task of climbing (but note: "easy" is describing how the action feels — it’s still an adjective modifying the implied idea of "climbing", though grammatically, it's often considered to describe the verb phrase)

However, for Grade 1 level, we focus on clear noun modifiers.

So:
- Adjective: *little* → describes tree
- Adjective: *easy* → describes the action, but not directly a noun. Still, it's used as an adjective here.

But since the instruction says "adjectives that describe nouns", let's clarify:

- *little* clearly describes tree → ✔
- *easy* modifies the verb phrase ("to climb"), so it's not describing a noun directly. But in simple terms, kids might treat it as describing the tree.

But best practice: Only circle adjectives that clearly modify nouns.

So:
- Adjective: *little* → describes tree
- *easy* is an adjective but not modifying a noun here — it's a subject complement.

So for simplicity (Grade 1), we’ll focus on little.

✔ Answer:
> The little tree is easy to climb.
> → Circle: little
> → Underline: tree

(Note: Some teachers may accept "easy" as an adjective, but it doesn't describe a noun — it describes the state of being.)

- Adjective: *fast* (describes the speed of the cars)
