Let's solve this step by step. The task is to
underline the adjectives in each sentence.
What is an adjective?
An
adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It gives us more information about the
size, color, shape, age, emotion, or other qualities of a noun.
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence and identify the adjectives:
---
1. Two large worms crawled along the ground.
- "Two" – This is a
number, but it modifies "worms" and tells how many. It's a
quantifier, which can be considered an adjective in some contexts (specifically, a *determiner*). But often in basic grammar,
"two" is not classified as an adjective. However, since it describes the noun "worms", we may include it.
- "large" – Describes the worms →
Adjective
✔ Adjectives:
large
> Note: Some educators consider "two" as a determiner, not an adjective. But in many elementary worksheets, numbers like "two" are accepted as adjectives when they describe nouns. So, depending on the teacher's preference,
"two" might be included. We'll underline
large for sure.

2. The small lady ordered 5 burgers for herself!
- "small" – Describes "lady" →
Adjective
- "5" – Number, not an adjective
- "the" – Determiner (not an adjective)
✔ Adjective:
small

3. Peter was tall and played basketball.
- "tall" – Describes Peter →
Adjective
✔ Adjective:

4. The strong smell filled the air quickly.
- "strong" – Describes "smell" →
Adjective
- "quickly" – Adverb (describes the verb "filled")
✔ Adjective:
strong
---
5. The pie tasted delicious.
- "delicious" – Describes how the pie tastes →
Adjective (it's describing the noun "pie")
✔ Adjective:
delicious
---
6. The two beautiful butterflies flew around the tree.
- "two" – Number (could be seen as adjective/determiner)
- "beautiful" – Describes "butterflies" →
Adjective
✔ Adjectives:
two,
beautiful
> Again, "two" may be debated, but in many school-level exercises, it's accepted as an adjective.
---
7. The hot sun shone on his back.
- "hot" – Describes "sun" →

8. Her blue eyes were so pretty.
