Adjective online exercise for Grade 6 - Free Printable

Explanation:
We are given a list of adjectives and 10 sentences with blanks. Our job is to fill each blank with an appropriate adjective from the box.

The adjectives in the box are:
homeless, blue, four, young, fluffy, 30, colorful, expensive, green, excited

Let’s go sentence by sentence and choose the best adjective based on meaning and grammar.

1. *I met a ________ person in Bangkok.*
→ “Homeless” fits well — it describes a type of person (someone without a home).
✔ homeless

2. *She has a ________ eye.*
→ We describe eyes by color: “blue eye” is common.
✔ blue

3. *My dog has a ________ skin.*
→ “Fluffy” can describe fur/skin texture (e.g., fluffy dog). “Fluffy skin” is acceptable for a furry animal.
✔ fluffy

4. *I bought a new and ________ car.*
→ “Expensive” pairs naturally with “new” to describe a car.
✔ expensive

5. *He was carrying ________ flowers.*
→ “Colorful” describes flowers well (many colors).
✔ colorful

6. *My cat is ________.*
→ “Excited” is a state the cat could be in. Also possible: “fluffy”, but “fluffy” was used in #3, and we can reuse adjectives unless told not to — but let’s check all options.
Wait — “young” also fits (“My cat is young”). But “excited” is more vivid and matches emotional state. However, let’s hold and see if other sentences need “young”.
Let’s keep going.

7. *The ________ frog hopped around the pond.*
→ Frogs are often described by color: “green frog” is classic.
✔ green

8. *I saw a ________ butterfly on the flower.*
→ Again, butterflies are often “colorful”. But we already used “colorful” in #5. Can we reuse? The instructions don’t forbid reuse, but usually in such exercises, each word is used once. Let’s count how many words and blanks:
Adjectives listed: 10 words
Sentences: 10 blanks
So likely one-to-one matching — each adjective used exactly once.

So we must assign each adjective once.

List again:
homeless, blue, four, young, fluffy, 30, colorful, expensive, green, excited
→ 10 words, 10 blanks → one per blank.

Now reassign carefully:

1. homeless ✔
2. blue ✔
3. fluffy ✔ (dog’s skin/fur)
4. expensive ✔
5. colorful ✔ (flowers)
6. ???
7. green ✔ (frog)
8. ???
9. ???
10. ???

Remaining adjectives: four, young, 30, excited

Now look at remaining sentences:

6. *My cat is ________.*
→ Could be “young” or “excited”. Both possible. Let’s save for now.

7. green — done.

8. *I saw a ________ butterfly on the flower.*
Butterfly — “colorful” already used. But maybe “fluffy” doesn’t fit butterfly. “Young” butterfly? Unusual. “Excited” doesn’t describe a butterfly. Hmm.

Wait — maybe we misassigned.

Let’s reconsider sentence 3: *My dog has a ________ skin.*
Is “fluffy skin” natural? Dogs have *fluffy fur*, not skin. Maybe “green” or “blue” skin? No. Perhaps “young” skin? Not typical.

Alternative: Maybe “fluffy” goes to sentence 8 (butterfly?) — no, butterflies aren’t fluffy.

What about sentence 10: *A ________ boy is sleeping in the room.*
→ “Young boy” is very natural.

Sentence 6: *My cat is ________.* → “excited” works (cats can be excited).

Sentence 8: *I saw a ________ butterfly* → “colorful” is best — let’s lock that.

Then sentence 5: *He was carrying ________ flowers.* — could be “yellow”, but not in list. Only options left: maybe “four” flowers? Like “four flowers” — but “four” is a number, and the instruction says “Adjective”, but numerals like *four* and *30* are sometimes treated as adjectives (numeral adjectives). Yes! In grammar, numbers used before nouns are *adjective-like* (e.g., “four flowers”, “30 degrees”).

So:
- “four flowers” → sentence 5?
- “30 degree Celsius” → sentence 9 uses “degree Celsius”, so “30” fits there.

Let’s try assigning using numeral adjectives:

9. *It’s a ________ degree Celsius.*
→ Must be 30 (e.g., “It’s a 30 degree Celsius” — though normally we say “30 degrees Celsius”, but in simple ESL, they accept “30 degree” here).

So sentence 9 → 30

Then sentence 5: *He was carrying ________ flowers.* → could be four (he carried four flowers)

Then remaining adjectives: homeless, blue, fluffy, expensive, colorful, green, young, excited — and we’ve used 30 and four.

Used so far:
- 9: 30
- 5: four

Now blanks left: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,10

Available adjectives: homeless, blue, fluffy, expensive, colorful, green, young, excited

1. person → homeless ✔
2. eye → blue ✔
3. dog skin → fluffy? Still questionable. But maybe it's acceptable in elementary level. Let’s accept fluffy.
4. car → expensive ✔
6. cat is → excited ✔
7. frog → green ✔
8. butterfly → colorful ✔
10. boy → young ✔

Now check all 10 used:
1. homeless
2. blue
3. fluffy
4. expensive
5. four
6. excited
7. green
8. colorful
9. 30
10. young

Yes — all 10 adjectives used once.

Double-check grammar:

1. a homeless person — correct
2. a blue eye — correct
3. a fluffy skin — slightly off; better would be “fluffy fur”, but among choices, it's the best. Possibly the worksheet expects this.
4. a new and expensive car — correct
5. four flowers — correct (numeral adjective)
6. My cat is excited. — correct
7. The green frog — correct
8. a colorful butterfly — correct
9. a 30 degree Celsius. — simplified, acceptable in basic English
10. A young boy — correct

Given the constraints, this is the only consistent one-to-one assignment.

Final Answer:
1. homeless
2. blue
3. fluffy
4. expensive
5. four
6. excited
7. green
8. colorful
9. 30
10. young
