Let’s solve this Grade 3 grammar worksheet step by step.

✔ Part 1: Circle the adjectives

What is an adjective?
An adjective is a word that describes a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea). It tells us *what kind*, *how many*, or *which one*.

From the list:
> eager, quiet, scrawny, phone, jump, low, horse, castle, famous, clever, play, handsome, odd, driver, shallow, ocean, rich, long, gentle, thankful

Let’s identify which are adjectives:

✔️ Adjectives (circle these):
- eager — describes how someone feels
- quiet — describes sound or behavior
- scrawny — describes thinness
- low — describes height or level
- famous — describes reputation
- clever — describes intelligence
- handsome — describes appearance
- odd — describes unusual quality
- shallow — describes depth
- rich — describes wealth or flavor
- long — describes length
- gentle — describes temperament
- thankful — describes emotion

✘ Not adjectives (these are nouns or verbs):
- phone → noun
- jump → verb/noun
- horse → noun
- castle → noun
- play → verb/noun
- driver → noun
- ocean → noun

✔ So, you should circle:
> eager, quiet, scrawny, low, famous, clever, handsome, odd, shallow, rich, long, gentle, thankful

*(Note: “scrawny” is also an adjective — it means thin and bony.)*

✔ Part 2: Complete the sentences using adjectives from above

We’ll pick the best adjective from the circled list to fit each sentence.

---

1. The bird with short wings is ________ looking.

→ “Scrawny” fits — it suggests thin, awkward, maybe unattractive.
✔ scrawny

---

2. Bob is ________ to get his new puppy.

→ Emotionally excited or happy — “eager” or “thankful” could work.
“Eager” = excited/enthusiastic → best fit.
✔ eager

---

3. The ________ actor is in a new movie.

→ Famous actor — common phrase.
✔ famous

---

4. A person has to be ________ to solve puzzles.

→ Needs intelligence → “clever”
✔ clever

---

5. Some fish prefer to swim in ________ waters.

→ Opposite of deep → “shallow”
✔ shallow

---

6. The runt of a litter of puppies is the ________ one.

→ Smallest, weakest → “scrawny” fits well here too.
But “small” isn’t on the list. “Odd” doesn’t fit. “Low” doesn’t make sense.
“Scrawny” = thin and small → best choice.
✔ scrawny

*(Note: If you think “odd” works because it’s unusual, “scrawny” is more physically descriptive and accurate for a runt.)*

---

7. The man who lives in the mansion is ________.

→ Mansions suggest wealth → “rich”
✔ rich

---

8. My brother was ________ that he got a new game.

→ Happy/grateful → “thankful” or “eager”
“Thankful” = grateful → fits better than “eager” (which is anticipation, not gratitude after receiving).
✔ thankful

---

9. We were tired after the ________ soccer game.

→ Long game → “long”
✔ long

---

10. I like to have ________ time to read books.

→ Quiet time → peaceful, calm → “quiet”
✔ quiet

---

11. My grandmother says I am a ________ boy.

→ Complimentary — “handsome” (if talking about looks) or “gentle” (if personality).
Both are possible. But “handsome” is commonly used for boys’ appearance.
✔ handsome

*(If context is behavior, “gentle” also works. But “handsome” is more likely here.)*

---

12. The tall man hit his head on the ________ branches.

→ Low branches → since he’s tall, he hit low ones.
✔ low

---

## 📝 Final Answers:

Circled Adjectives:

> eager, quiet, scrawny, low, famous, clever, handsome, odd, shallow, rich, long, gentle, thankful

*(Note: “odd” wasn’t used in sentences, but it’s still an adjective — you should circle it.)*
