Grade 3 Adjectives Worksheet 3 | PDF - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the adjectives. Remember, an adjective is a word that describes a noun — it tells us what kind, how many, or which one.

---

Sentence 1:
*His white lab coat was nowhere to be found.*
→ “white” describes the coat → adjective
→ “lab” can also describe the type of coat (like a scientist’s coat) → sometimes considered an adjective here
But for this level, we’ll focus on clear descriptive words: white

Wait — let’s check standard grammar for this worksheet level. Usually, “lab” in “lab coat” is part of a compound noun, so maybe not counted as an adjective. Let’s stick with white.

Actually, looking at common elementary worksheets, they often include color words and size/quality words. So:

✔ Adjectives: white

---

Sentence 2:
*Giant elephants made their way across the dry earth.*
→ “Giant” describes elephants → adjective
→ “dry” describes earth → adjective

✔ Adjectives: Giant, dry

---

Sentence 3:
*The aggressive crocodiles snapped at the feet of the other animals.*
→ “aggressive” describes crocodiles → adjective
→ “other” describes animals → adjective (tells which animals)

✔ Adjectives: aggressive, other

---

Sentence 4:
*The muddy ground made it difficult to play soccer.*
→ “muddy” describes ground → adjective
→ “difficult” describes “it” (which refers to playing soccer) → but “it” is a pronoun, and “difficult” is describing the situation — still, in school grammar, “difficult” is often accepted as an adjective modifying the implied idea. However, strictly speaking, adjectives modify nouns or pronouns. Here, “difficult” modifies the infinitive phrase “to play soccer”, which acts like a noun. Many curricula accept this.

But to keep it simple for students:
“muddy” = clearly an adjective
“difficult” = also commonly taught as an adjective in such contexts

✔ Adjectives: muddy, difficult

---

Sentence 5:
*The golden sun shone all day long.*
→ “golden” describes sun → adjective

✔ Adjectives: golden

---

Sentence 6:
*Dark clouds lingered above as the rain began to fall.*
→ “Dark” describes clouds → adjective

✔ Adjectives: Dark

---

Sentence 7:
*The angry cats attacked the dogs.*
→ “angry” describes cats → adjective

✔ Adjectives: angry

---

Sentence 8:
*The green apples were the best!*
→ “green” describes apples → adjective
→ “best” is a superlative adjective describing “apples” (or the state of being the best) → yes, “best” is an adjective

✔ Adjectives: green, best

---

Sentence 9:
*His big blue eyes looked left and right.*
→ “big” describes eyes → adjective
→ “blue” describes eyes → adjective

✔ Adjectives: big, blue

---

Sentence 10:
*The young beavers swam through the river.*
→ “young” describes beavers → adjective

✔ Adjectives: young

---

Now let’s list them all together per sentence:

1. white
2. Giant, dry
3. aggressive, other
4. muddy, difficult
5. golden
6. Dark
7. angry
8. green, best
9. big, blue
10. young

Double-checking: All these words are describing nouns — coats, elephants, earth, crocodiles, animals, ground, sun, clouds, cats, apples, eyes, beavers. Even “other”, “difficult”, and “best” fit in elementary grammar as adjectives.

Final Answer:
1. white
2. Giant, dry
3. aggressive, other
4. muddy, difficult
5. golden
6. Dark
7. angry
8. green, best
9. big, blue
10. young
