Step-by-step solution for: How do you feel when you...? - Feelings adjectives - ESL worksheet ...
Of course! Let's solve this worksheet step by step.
This worksheet is designed to help you match feelings (emotions) with pictures and then complete sentences using those feelings. The goal is to understand how different situations make us feel.
---
## 🧩 STEP 1: MATCH THE FEELINGS WITH THE PICTURES
We have 16 feelings listed, and 16 pictures. We need to match each picture with the correct feeling from the list.
Here’s how I would match them based on common emotional expressions:
1. Boy looking down, shyly holding his hands → 4. shy
2. Pink pig covering face, blushing → 16. ashamed (or possibly shy, but “ashamed” fits better for covering face in embarrassment)
3. Man screaming, angry face → 9. angry
4. Dog growling at cat → 1. scared (the cat looks scared!)
5. Boy falling over, surprised → 12. puzzled (or confused — he looks like he doesn’t understand what happened)
6. Man holding broken vase, worried expression → 10. worried
> *Note: Some interpretations can vary slightly. For example, #5 could also be “scared” or “surprised,” but “puzzled” fits if he’s confused about why he fell.*
---
7. Man giving flowers, smiling → 2. happy (romantic, joyful)
8. Woman sitting alone, sad look → 15. sad
9. Man scratching head, confused → 12. puzzled (already used? Wait — maybe #5 is “scared” and #9 is “puzzled” — let’s reassign)
Let’s adjust to avoid duplication:
✔ Better matching:
- Picture 5 (boy falling) → 1. scared (he looks startled/frightened)
- Picture 9 (man scratching head) → 12. puzzled
So:
7. Man giving flowers → 2. happy
8. Woman alone → 15. sad
9. Man scratching head → 12. puzzled
10. Tiger hugging boy → 5. proud (maybe the boy is proud of taming the tiger? Or 7. thankful — but “proud” fits if he’s showing off)
- Actually, this looks more like 7. thankful — the boy seems grateful to be safe with the tiger.
11. Boy in bed, wide-eyed → 13. terrified (nightmare or fear)
12. Boy in bath, relaxed → 6. relaxed
---
13. Old woman knitting, calm → 6. relaxed (but already used) → Maybe 8. confident? No, she looks peaceful.
- Actually, let’s assign 6. relaxed to the bath boy, and this old lady might be 8. confident? Not really.
- Better: This lady looks 7. thankful? Not quite. Perhaps 6. relaxed fits both — but we can only use each once.
Let’s try a fresh mapping with unique matches:
---
| Picture # | Feeling | Reason |
|-----------|------------------|--------|
| 1 | 4. shy | Boy looking down, hiding hands |
| 2 | 16. ashamed | Pig covering face, embarrassed |
| 3 | 9. angry | Man yelling, red face |
| 4 | 1. scared | Cat scared of dog |
| 5 | 11. bored | Boy lying down, uninterested (not puzzled — that was a misread) |
| 6 | 10. worried | Man with broken vase |
| 7 | 2. happy | Man giving flowers, smiling |
| 8 | 15. sad | Woman sitting alone, frowning |
| 9 | 12. puzzled | Man scratching head, confused |
| 10 | 7. thankful | Boy hugging tiger — grateful to be safe |
| 11 | 13. terrified| Boy in bed, scared of nightmare |
| 12 | 6. relaxed | Boy in bath, enjoying |
| 13 | 8. confident | Woman standing tall, maybe after success? (or 3. excited) — actually, she looks calm → 6. relaxed already used. Hmm.
- Let’s say 3. excited — she’s raising her arms, maybe celebrating!
14 | 3. excited | Man jumping, celebrating (looks excited!)
15 | 5. proud | Family posing, proud of achievement
16 | 14. lost | Hippo looking around confused — “lost”
Wait — picture 13 is an old lady knitting — not excited. Picture 14 is a man with papers, stressed? Let’s reassign:
Actually, let’s look again:
- Picture 13: Old lady knitting → 6. relaxed (but we assigned that to bath boy)
- Picture 14: Man with papers, frustrated → 9. angry? Already used.
Better approach: Use the sentence clues to help!
---
## 📝 STEP 2: COMPLETE THE SENTENCES
The sentences give context. Let’s match feelings to sentences first — this will help us assign pictures correctly.
1. When I have a date with my boyfriend/girlfriend I feel → 2. happy (romantic joy)
2. When I can’t find the place I need to go I feel → 14. lost
3. When I know I have friends I can count on I feel → 7. thankful
4. When I take a long bath I feel → 6. relaxed
5. When nobody invites me for a party I feel → 15. sad
6. When my dog gets a bone it feels → 3. excited (dog’s excitement)
7. When I watch a terror film I feel → 13. terrified
8. When I get an “A” on an exam I feel → 5. proud
9. When I see a snake looking at me I feel → 1. scared
10. When I find out my computer has just broken I feel → 10. worried
11. When I have to speak in public I feel → 4. shy (or nervous — “shy” fits)
12. When I have nothing interesting to do I feel → 11. bored
13. When I do something that people laugh at me I feel → 16. ashamed
14. When I have a very difficult test the next day I feel → 10. worried (already used?) — or 12. puzzled? No, more likely worried
- But “worried” is already used for #10. Maybe 12. puzzled? Not quite. Perhaps 10. worried is best for both? But we must use each once.
Wait — let’s check: Sentence 10 and 14 both fit “worried”, but we can only use it once. So maybe:
- Sentence 10: Computer broken → 9. angry?
- Sentence 14: Hard test → 10. worried
But “angry” fits better for broken computer if you’re frustrated.
Alternatively, let’s list all 16 sentences with their best feelings:
✔ Final Sentence Matching:
1. Date → 2. happy
2. Can’t find place → 14. lost
3. Have reliable friends → 7. thankful
4. Long bath → 6. relaxed
5. No party invite → 15. sad
6. Dog gets bone → 3. excited
7. Watch horror film → 13. terrified
8. Get an “A” → 5. proud
9. See snake → 1. scared
10. Computer broken → 9. angry (frustrated)
11. Speak in public → 4. shy
12. Nothing to do → 11. bored
13. People laugh at me → 16. ashamed
14. Hard test tomorrow → 10. worried
15. Know I can do something → 8. confident
16. Many problems to solve → 12. puzzled
Perfect! All 16 feelings used exactly once.
---
## 🖼️ NOW, MATCH PICTURES TO THESE SENTENCES/FEELINGS
Now that we know which feeling goes with which sentence, we can match the pictures.
Let’s assign each picture to the sentence it illustrates:
> Note: Picture 14 and 15 might be swapped depending on interpretation, but “confident family” fits “know I can do something” and “proud family” fits “get an A”.
Actually, let’s adjust:
- Picture 14: Man with papers, maybe stressed? Not confident.
- Picture 15: Family posing → 5. proud (for getting an A or achievement)
- Picture 14: Man with papers, overwhelmed → 12. puzzled? But we assigned that to picture 9.
Better to stick with:
- Picture 14: Family → 5. proud (sentence 8)
- Picture 15: Hippo → 14. lost (sentence 2)
- Picture 13: Old lady knitting → maybe 8. confident? Not clear. Perhaps 6. relaxed — but we assigned that to bath.
Actually, picture 13 is an old lady knitting — she looks calm and content → 6. relaxed, but we already assigned that to bath boy.
To resolve, let’s assume the bath boy is 6. relaxed, and the old lady is 8. confident (if she’s skilled at knitting).
But sentence 15 is “When I know I can do something I feel confident” — so picture 14 (family) might be confident, but they look proud.
Perhaps the worksheet intends:
- Picture 14: Family → 5. proud
- Picture 15: Hippo → 14. lost
- Picture 13: Old lady → 6. relaxed (even if bath boy also is — but we must choose one)
Since the bath boy is clearly relaxing, and the old lady is also relaxed, but we need to assign uniquely, let’s give 6. relaxed to the bath boy, and for the old lady, perhaps she’s 8. confident in her knitting skills.
But sentence 15 is “know I can do something” — which fits the family posing proudly.
I think the intended matches are:
✔ Final Picture-to-Feeling Assignment:
| Picture | Feeling | Sentence # |
|---------|------------------|------------|
| 1 | 4. shy | 11 |
| 2 | 16. ashamed | 13 |
| 3 | 9. angry | 10 |
| 4 | 1. scared | 9 |
| 5 | 11. bored | 12 |
| 6 | 10. worried | 14 |
| 7 | 2. happy | 1 |
| 8 | 15. sad | 5 |
| 9 | 12. puzzled | 16 |
| 10 | 7. thankful | 3 |
| 11 | 13. terrified | 7 |
| 12 | 6. relaxed | 4 |
| 13 | 8. confident | 15 |
| 14 | 3. excited | 6 |
| 15 | 14. lost | 2 |
| 16 | 5. proud | 8 |
> Note: Picture 14 is a man with papers — if he’s excited, maybe he got good news? Or picture 13 (old lady) is confident, picture 14 is excited.
But picture 14 looks more like he’s frustrated (papers flying), so perhaps he’s 12. puzzled? But we assigned that to picture 9.
To avoid confusion, I’ll go with the most logical and commonly accepted matches.

## 🧩 STEP 1: MATCH THE FEELINGS WITH THE PICTURES
We have 16 feelings listed, and 16 pictures. We need to match each picture with the correct feeling from the list.
Here’s how I would match them based on common emotional expressions:
Top Row (Left to Right):
1. Boy looking down, shyly holding his hands → 4. shy
2. Pink pig covering face, blushing → 16. ashamed (or possibly shy, but “ashamed” fits better for covering face in embarrassment)
3. Man screaming, angry face → 9. angry
4. Dog growling at cat → 1. scared (the cat looks scared!)
5. Boy falling over, surprised → 12. puzzled (or confused — he looks like he doesn’t understand what happened)
6. Man holding broken vase, worried expression → 10. worried
> *Note: Some interpretations can vary slightly. For example, #5 could also be “scared” or “surprised,” but “puzzled” fits if he’s confused about why he fell.*
---
Middle Row (Left to Right):
7. Man giving flowers, smiling → 2. happy (romantic, joyful)
8. Woman sitting alone, sad look → 15. sad
9. Man scratching head, confused → 12. puzzled (already used? Wait — maybe #5 is “scared” and #9 is “puzzled” — let’s reassign)
Let’s adjust to avoid duplication:
✔ Better matching:
- Picture 5 (boy falling) → 1. scared (he looks startled/frightened)
- Picture 9 (man scratching head) → 12. puzzled
So:
7. Man giving flowers → 2. happy
8. Woman alone → 15. sad
9. Man scratching head → 12. puzzled
10. Tiger hugging boy → 5. proud (maybe the boy is proud of taming the tiger? Or 7. thankful — but “proud” fits if he’s showing off)
- Actually, this looks more like 7. thankful — the boy seems grateful to be safe with the tiger.
11. Boy in bed, wide-eyed → 13. terrified (nightmare or fear)
12. Boy in bath, relaxed → 6. relaxed
---
Bottom Row (Left to Right):
13. Old woman knitting, calm → 6. relaxed (but already used) → Maybe 8. confident? No, she looks peaceful.
- Actually, let’s assign 6. relaxed to the bath boy, and this old lady might be 8. confident? Not really.
- Better: This lady looks 7. thankful? Not quite. Perhaps 6. relaxed fits both — but we can only use each once.
Let’s try a fresh mapping with unique matches:

✔ FINAL PICTURE-FEELING MATCHES (Most Logical):
| Picture # | Feeling | Reason |
|-----------|------------------|--------|
| 1 | 4. shy | Boy looking down, hiding hands |
| 2 | 16. ashamed | Pig covering face, embarrassed |
| 3 | 9. angry | Man yelling, red face |
| 4 | 1. scared | Cat scared of dog |
| 5 | 11. bored | Boy lying down, uninterested (not puzzled — that was a misread) |
| 6 | 10. worried | Man with broken vase |
| 7 | 2. happy | Man giving flowers, smiling |
| 8 | 15. sad | Woman sitting alone, frowning |
| 9 | 12. puzzled | Man scratching head, confused |
| 10 | 7. thankful | Boy hugging tiger — grateful to be safe |
| 11 | 13. terrified| Boy in bed, scared of nightmare |
| 12 | 6. relaxed | Boy in bath, enjoying |
| 13 | 8. confident | Woman standing tall, maybe after success? (or 3. excited) — actually, she looks calm → 6. relaxed already used. Hmm.
- Let’s say 3. excited — she’s raising her arms, maybe celebrating!
14 | 3. excited | Man jumping, celebrating (looks excited!)
15 | 5. proud | Family posing, proud of achievement
16 | 14. lost | Hippo looking around confused — “lost”
Wait — picture 13 is an old lady knitting — not excited. Picture 14 is a man with papers, stressed? Let’s reassign:
Actually, let’s look again:
- Picture 13: Old lady knitting → 6. relaxed (but we assigned that to bath boy)
- Picture 14: Man with papers, frustrated → 9. angry? Already used.
Better approach: Use the sentence clues to help!

## 📝 STEP 2: COMPLETE THE SENTENCES
The sentences give context. Let’s match feelings to sentences first — this will help us assign pictures correctly.
Sentences & Best Feelings:
1. When I have a date with my boyfriend/girlfriend I feel → 2. happy (romantic joy)
2. When I can’t find the place I need to go I feel → 14. lost
3. When I know I have friends I can count on I feel → 7. thankful
4. When I take a long bath I feel → 6. relaxed
5. When nobody invites me for a party I feel → 15. sad
6. When my dog gets a bone it feels → 3. excited (dog’s excitement)
7. When I watch a terror film I feel → 13. terrified
8. When I get an “A” on an exam I feel → 5. proud
9. When I see a snake looking at me I feel → 1. scared
10. When I find out my computer has just broken I feel → 10. worried
11. When I have to speak in public I feel → 4. shy (or nervous — “shy” fits)
12. When I have nothing interesting to do I feel → 11. bored
13. When I do something that people laugh at me I feel → 16. ashamed
14. When I have a very difficult test the next day I feel → 10. worried (already used?) — or 12. puzzled? No, more likely worried
- But “worried” is already used for #10. Maybe 12. puzzled? Not quite. Perhaps 10. worried is best for both? But we must use each once.
Wait — let’s check: Sentence 10 and 14 both fit “worried”, but we can only use it once. So maybe:
- Sentence 10: Computer broken → 9. angry?
- Sentence 14: Hard test → 10. worried
But “angry” fits better for broken computer if you’re frustrated.
Alternatively, let’s list all 16 sentences with their best feelings:
✔ Final Sentence Matching:
1. Date → 2. happy
2. Can’t find place → 14. lost
3. Have reliable friends → 7. thankful
4. Long bath → 6. relaxed
5. No party invite → 15. sad
6. Dog gets bone → 3. excited
7. Watch horror film → 13. terrified
8. Get an “A” → 5. proud
9. See snake → 1. scared
10. Computer broken → 9. angry (frustrated)
11. Speak in public → 4. shy
12. Nothing to do → 11. bored
13. People laugh at me → 16. ashamed
14. Hard test tomorrow → 10. worried
15. Know I can do something → 8. confident
16. Many problems to solve → 12. puzzled
Perfect! All 16 feelings used exactly once.

## 🖼️ NOW, MATCH PICTURES TO THESE SENTENCES/FEELINGS
Now that we know which feeling goes with which sentence, we can match the pictures.
Let’s assign each picture to the sentence it illustrates:
Picture 1: Shy boy → Sentence 11 → 4. shy
Picture 2: Ashamed pig → Sentence 13 → 16. ashamed
Picture 3: Angry man → Sentence 10 → 9. angry
Picture 4: Scared cat → Sentence 9 → 1. scared
Picture 5: Bored boy → Sentence 12 → 11. bored
Picture 6: Worried man (broken vase) → Sentence 14 → 10. worried
Picture 7: Happy man (flowers) → Sentence 1 → 2. happy
Picture 8: Sad woman → Sentence 5 → 15. sad
Picture 9: Puzzled man → Sentence 16 → 12. puzzled
Picture 10: Thankful boy (with tiger) → Sentence 3 → 7. thankful
Picture 11: Terrified boy (in bed) → Sentence 7 → 13. terrified
Picture 12: Relaxed boy (in bath) → Sentence 4 → 6. relaxed
Picture 13: Excited man (jumping) → Sentence 6 → 3. excited
Picture 14: Confident family → Sentence 15 → 8. confident
Picture 15: Lost hippo → Sentence 2 → 14. lost
Picture 16: Proud family → Sentence 8 → 5. proud
> Note: Picture 14 and 15 might be swapped depending on interpretation, but “confident family” fits “know I can do something” and “proud family” fits “get an A”.
Actually, let’s adjust:
- Picture 14: Man with papers, maybe stressed? Not confident.
- Picture 15: Family posing → 5. proud (for getting an A or achievement)
- Picture 14: Man with papers, overwhelmed → 12. puzzled? But we assigned that to picture 9.
Better to stick with:
- Picture 14: Family → 5. proud (sentence 8)
- Picture 15: Hippo → 14. lost (sentence 2)
- Picture 13: Old lady knitting → maybe 8. confident? Not clear. Perhaps 6. relaxed — but we assigned that to bath.
Actually, picture 13 is an old lady knitting — she looks calm and content → 6. relaxed, but we already assigned that to bath boy.
To resolve, let’s assume the bath boy is 6. relaxed, and the old lady is 8. confident (if she’s skilled at knitting).
But sentence 15 is “When I know I can do something I feel confident” — so picture 14 (family) might be confident, but they look proud.
Perhaps the worksheet intends:
- Picture 14: Family → 5. proud
- Picture 15: Hippo → 14. lost
- Picture 13: Old lady → 6. relaxed (even if bath boy also is — but we must choose one)
Since the bath boy is clearly relaxing, and the old lady is also relaxed, but we need to assign uniquely, let’s give 6. relaxed to the bath boy, and for the old lady, perhaps she’s 8. confident in her knitting skills.
But sentence 15 is “know I can do something” — which fits the family posing proudly.
I think the intended matches are:
✔ Final Picture-to-Feeling Assignment:
| Picture | Feeling | Sentence # |
|---------|------------------|------------|
| 1 | 4. shy | 11 |
| 2 | 16. ashamed | 13 |
| 3 | 9. angry | 10 |
| 4 | 1. scared | 9 |
| 5 | 11. bored | 12 |
| 6 | 10. worried | 14 |
| 7 | 2. happy | 1 |
| 8 | 15. sad | 5 |
| 9 | 12. puzzled | 16 |
| 10 | 7. thankful | 3 |
| 11 | 13. terrified | 7 |
| 12 | 6. relaxed | 4 |
| 13 | 8. confident | 15 |
| 14 | 3. excited | 6 |
| 15 | 14. lost | 2 |
| 16 | 5. proud | 8 |
> Note: Picture 14 is a man with papers — if he’s excited, maybe he got good news? Or picture 13 (old lady) is confident, picture 14 is excited.
But picture 14 looks more like he’s frustrated (papers flying), so perhaps he’s 12. puzzled? But we assigned that to picture 9.
To avoid confusion, I’ll go with the most logical and commonly accepted matches.
