Step-by-step solution for: Grade 4 & 5 Adjective Worksheets | English | Free Printable
Let's solve this step by step.
The task is to underline the adjectives in each sentence.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun — it tells us *what kind*, *how many*, or *which one*.
We’ll go through each sentence and identify the adjectives.
---
- "Two" – number (quantity), so it’s an adjective (specifically, a numeral adjective).
- "large" – describes the worms (size), so it’s an adjective.
✔ Adjectives: Two, large
---
- "small" – describes the lady (size), so it’s an adjective.
- "5" – number, but here it's a numeral describing "burgers", so it’s also an adjective.
✔ Adjectives: small, 5
Note: "The" is a definite article, which is a type of adjective (article adjective).
So technically:
- "The" (article)
- "small" (descriptive adjective)
- "5" (numeral)
But since the instruction says “underline the adjectives,” we include all.
✔ Adjectives: The, small, 5
---
- "tall" – describes Peter (height), so it’s an adjective.
✔ Adjective: tall
---
- "strong" – describes the smell (intensity), so it’s an adjective.
- "quickly" – describes how the smell filled the air → this is an adverb, not an adjective.
✔ Adjective: strong
---
- "delicious" – describes the taste of the pie (quality), so it’s an adjective.
✔ Adjective: delicious
Note: "The" is an article (type of adjective), so we can include it too.
✔ Adjectives: The, delicious
---
- "two" – number (quantity) → adjective
- "beautiful" – describes butterflies → adjective
- "The" – article → adjective
✔ Adjectives: The, two, beautiful
---
- "hot" – describes the sun (temperature) → adjective
- "The" – article → adjective
✔ Adjectives: The, hot
---
- "blue" – describes the eyes (color) → adjective
- "pretty" – describes the eyes (appearance) → adjective
- "Her" – possessive pronoun, which acts as an adjective modifying "eyes"
- "so" – intensifier (adverb), not an adjective
✔ Adjectives: Her, blue, pretty
---
- "tiny" – describes baby (size) → adjective
- "cute" – describes noises (quality) → adjective
- "Their" – possessive pronoun, acting as adjective
✔ Adjectives: Their, tiny, cute
---
- "loud" – describes the music (volume) → adjective
- "The" – article → adjective
- "so" – adverb, modifying "loud"
✔ Adjectives: The, loud
---
1. Two large worms crawled along the ground.
2. The small lady ordered 5 burgers for herself!
3. Peter was tall and played basketball.
4. The strong smell filled the air quickly.
5. The pie tasted delicious.
6. The two beautiful butterflies flew around the tree.
7. The hot sun shone on his back.
8. Her blue eyes were so pretty.
9. Their tiny baby made cute noises.
10. The music from the party was so loud.
