Let's solve the grammar task step by step. The goal is to:
- Circle the nouns
- Draw a box around the verbs
- Underline the adjectives
We’ll go through each sentence one by one, identify the parts of speech, and then provide the correct answers.
---
- Nouns: *dress*, *pockets* → circle them
- Verbs: *has* → box it
- Adjectives: *pink*, *many* → underline them
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: dress, pockets
> - Box: has
> - Underline: pink, many
---
- Nouns: *brother*, *race* → circle them
- Verbs: *won* → box it
- Adjectives: *little* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: brother, race
> - Box: won
> - Underline: little
---
- Nouns: *restaurant* → circle it
- Verbs: *should eat* → both are verbs (*should* = modal verb, *eat* = main verb) → box both
- Adjectives: *Italian* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: restaurant
> - Box: should, eat
> - Underline: Italian
---
- Nouns: *letters* → circle it
- Verbs: *like*, *getting* → box both (note: "getting" is a gerund, but still a verb form)
- Adjectives: *long* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: letters
> - Box: like, getting
> - Underline: long
---
- Nouns: *sweater* → circle it
- Verbs: *is* → box it
- Adjectives: *old*, *very comfortable* → "very" modifies "comfortable", so underline both "old" and "comfortable"
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: sweater
> - Box: is
> - Underline: old, comfortable
> Note: *very* is an adverb modifying the adjective *comfortable*, so we don't underline *very* — only the adjective itself.
---
- Nouns: *Martha*, *cat* → circle them
- Verbs: *adores* → box it
- Adjectives: *white* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: Martha, cat
> - Box: adores
> - Underline: white
---
- Nouns: *pancakes* → circle it
- Verbs: *taste* → box it
- Adjectives: *fluffy* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: pancakes
> - Box: taste
> - Underline: fluffy
> Note: *"the best"* is a superlative form of "good", but since "best" is not directly describing the noun in this case (it’s a predicate), it's not an adjective modifying "pancakes". So we do not underline "best".
---
- Nouns: *kids*, *back*, *line* → circle them
- Verbs: *must stand* → box both (*must* = modal, *stand* = main verb)
- Adjectives: *tall* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: kids, back, line
> - Box: must, stand
> - Underline: tall
---

- Adjectives: *big* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: Thomas, sister, him, stadium
> - Box: asked, drive
> - Underline: big
---
- Nouns: *speech* → circle it
- Verbs: *tried*, *listening*, *fell*, *asleep* → box all four? Wait!
Let’s analyze:
- *tried* = past tense of try → verb
- *listening* = gerund → verb form
- *fell* = past tense of fall → verb
- *asleep* = adverbial phrase, not a verb
But “I fell asleep” – *fell* is the verb, *asleep* is an adverb (describing how he fell). So only *tried*, *listening*, *fell* are verbs.
Wait: “listened” is part of the phrasal verb “try doing”, so “listening” is a gerund, but still a verb form.
So verbs: tried, listening, fell
But “asleep” is not a verb.
- Adjectives: *boring* → underline it
> ✔ Answer:
> - Circle: speech
> - Box: tried, listening, fell
> - Underline: boring
