Adjectives - Worksheet Digital - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence and pick the adjective that makes the most sense.

1. My pillow is very (soft, hard).
Pillows are usually soft so you can rest your head comfortably. → soft

2. The snail is (fast, slow).
Snails move very slowly — that’s common knowledge. → slow

3. After playing football, Ali is (dirty, clean).
Playing football gets you sweaty and muddy — so you’re not clean anymore. → dirty

4. That (hardworking, lazy) pig is sleeping.
If the pig is sleeping, it’s probably not working hard — so “lazy” fits better. → lazy

5. The roads are (wet, dry) after the rain.
Rain makes things wet — so roads become wet. → wet

6. The (clever, silly) donkey fell into the trap.
If someone falls into a trap, they probably didn’t think carefully — so “silly” fits. → silly

7. The teacher is (happy, angry) with the bad boy.
A “bad boy” usually makes teachers upset — so “angry” makes sense. → angry

8. When John’s dog died, he was very (sad, angry).
Losing a pet usually makes people sad — not angry (unless there’s a reason to be). → sad

9. The door is too (narrow, wide). I cannot get in.
If you can’t get in, the door must be too small — so “narrow” fits. → narrow

10. The measuring tape is (short, long).
Measuring tapes need to be long to measure big things — but if it’s too short, it won’t work well. The sentence doesn’t say it’s broken — just describes it. But since it’s a general fact, we assume it’s meant to be useful → long

Wait — let’s re-read: “The measuring tape is (short, long).” It’s stating a fact. Measuring tapes are designed to be long. So unless context says otherwise, “long” is correct. → long

11. The library is (quiet, noisy).
Libraries are places where people read and study — so they should be quiet. → quiet
