Let’s go step by step to find the
adjectives in each sentence.
Remember: An
adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It tells us more about what something is like — its color, size, taste, smell, texture, etc.

Sentence 1: We ate delicious peaches.
- “We” = pronoun (not adjective)
- “ate” = verb (action word)
- “delicious” = describes the peaches →
✔ ADJECTIVE
- “peaches” = noun
→ Check box next to
delicious
---
Sentence 2: I love salty chips.
- “I” = pronoun
- “love” = verb
- “salty” = describes the chips →
✔ ADJECTIVE
- “chips” = noun
→ Check box next to
salty
*(Note: The worksheet has boxes for “salty”, “I”, and “love”. Only “salty” is an adjective.)*
---
Sentence 3: She cut a juicy apple.
- “She” = pronoun
- “cut” = verb
- “a” = article (not adjective here — though articles are sometimes called determiners, they’re not typically counted as adjectives in this level)
- “juicy” = describes the apple →
✔ ADJECTIVE
- “apple” = noun
→ Check box next to
juicy
---
Sentence 4: He drank icy water.
- “He” = pronoun
- “drank” = verb
- “icy” = describes the water →
✔ ADJECTIVE
- “water” = noun
→ Check box next to
icy
---
Sentence 5: Please throw out that rotten banana.
- “Please” = polite word (not adjective)
- “throw out” = phrasal verb
- “that” = demonstrative pronoun/determiner (sometimes considered adjective-like, but at this level, we focus on descriptive words)
- “rotten” = describes the banana →
✔ ADJECTIVE
- “banana” = noun
→ Check box next to
rotten
*(Note: “that” can be tricky — it points to which banana, but doesn’t describe its quality. In elementary grammar, “rotten” is the clear adjective here.)*
