To solve this worksheet, we need to turn the proper nouns (names of places or people) in parentheses into proper adjectives. A proper adjective describes something by telling us where it comes from or who it is related to. Most of the time, we just change the ending of the word (like adding "-an", "-ian", or "-ese") and keep the first letter capitalized.
