Grammar worksheet for identifying nouns, verbs, and adjectives in sentences.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll find:

- Nouns → people, places, things, or ideas (circle them)
- Verbs → action words or states of being (draw a box around them)
- Adjectives → words that describe nouns (underline them)

We’ll do this for all 14 sentences.

---

Sentence 1: The pink dress has too many pockets.

- Nouns: dress, pockets
- Verb: has
- Adjective: pink, many

→ Circle: dress, pockets
→ Box: has
→ Underline: pink, many

---

Sentence 2: My little brother won the race.

- Nouns: brother, race
- Verb: won
- Adjectives: My, little

→ Circle: brother, race
→ Box: won
→ Underline: My, little

*(Note: “My” is a possessive adjective — it still describes “brother”)*

---

Sentence 3: We should eat at the Italian restaurant today.

- Nouns: We, restaurant
- Verbs: should eat
- Adjective: Italian

→ Circle: We, restaurant
→ Box: should eat
→ Underline: Italian

*(“today” is an adverb — not needed here)*

---

Sentence 4: I like getting long letters.

- Nouns: I, letters
- Verbs: like, getting
- Adjective: long

→ Circle: I, letters
→ Box: like, getting
→ Underline: long

---

Sentence 5: My old sweater is very comfortable.

- Nouns: sweater
- Verbs: is
- Adjectives: My, old, comfortable

→ Circle: sweater
→ Box: is
→ Underline: My, old, comfortable

*(“very” is an adverb modifying “comfortable” — skip it)*

---

Sentence 6: Martha adores her white cat.

- Nouns: Martha, cat
- Verb: adores
- Adjectives: her, white

→ Circle: Martha, cat
→ Box: adores
→ Underline: her, white

---

Sentence 7: Fluffy pancakes taste the best.

- Nouns: pancakes
- Verb: taste
- Adjectives: Fluffy, best

→ Circle: pancakes
→ Box: taste
→ Underline: Fluffy, best

*(“the” is an article — sometimes considered an adjective, but in basic grammar we often skip articles unless specified. Since “best” is clearly descriptive, underline it.)*

---

Sentence 8: Tall kids must stand at the back of the line.

- Nouns: kids, back, line
- Verbs: must stand
- Adjective: Tall

→ Circle: kids, back, line
→ Box: must stand
→ Underline: Tall

---

Sentence 9: Our new sofa looks great in our living room.

- Nouns: sofa, room
- Verbs: looks
- Adjectives: Our, new, living

→ Circle: sofa, room
→ Box: looks
→ Underline: Our, new, living

*(“great” is an adverb here describing how it looks — so not underlined as adjective)*

Wait — actually, “looks” is a linking verb, and “great” is a subject complement — which can be an adjective. In elementary grammar, “great” here is often treated as an adjective describing “sofa”. Let’s check common practice.

In most school worksheets, “looks great” → “great” is considered an adjective after a linking verb.

So let’s correct:

→ Underline: Our, new, living, great

But wait — “living” is part of “living room” — it’s acting as an adjective modifying “room”, so yes, underline it.

Final for #9:

→ Circle: sofa, room
→ Box: looks
→ Underline: Our, new, living, great

---

Sentence 10: The girl with the green eyes moved here yesterday.

- Nouns: girl, eyes
- Verb: moved
- Adjective: green

→ Circle: girl, eyes
→ Box: moved
→ Underline: green

*(“here” and “yesterday” are adverbs — skip)*

---

Sentence 11: She came back because the queue was too long.

- Nouns: She, queue
- Verbs: came, was
- Adjective: long

→ Circle: She, queue
→ Box: came, was
→ Underline: long

*(“too” is an adverb — skip)*

---

Sentence 12: Thomas asked his big sister to drive him to the stadium.

- Nouns: Thomas, sister, stadium
- Verbs: asked, drive
- Adjectives: his, big

→ Circle: Thomas, sister, stadium
→ Box: asked, drive
→ Underline: his, big

---

Sentence 13: I tried listening to the boring speech but I fell asleep.

- Nouns: I, speech
- Verbs: tried, listening, fell
- Adjective: boring

→ Circle: I, speech
→ Box: tried, listening, fell
→ Underline: boring

*(“asleep” is an adjective? Actually, “fell asleep” — “asleep” is an adjective describing “I” after the linking verb “fell”. But in many school levels, they may not count it. Let’s stick to obvious ones. “boring” is clear. “asleep” might be optional — but since the worksheet says “adjectives in each sentence”, and “asleep” describes the subject, we should include it.)*

Actually, looking at standard elementary grammar: “fell asleep” — “asleep” is an adjective. So:

→ Underline: boring, asleep

But wait — “listening” is a gerund (verb form used as noun) — but in this context, it’s part of the verb phrase “tried listening” — so we boxed it as verb. That’s fine.

Final for #13:

→ Circle: I, speech
→ Box: tried, listening, fell
→ Underline: boring, asleep

---

Sentence 14: Robin jumped into the pool.

- Nouns: Robin, pool
- Verb: jumped
- No adjectives

→ Circle: Robin, pool
→ Box: jumped
→ Nothing to underline

---

Now, let’s compile the final answers per sentence as requested.

Since the instruction says “Circle the nouns, draw a box around the verbs and underline the adjectives”, and we’re to provide the answer, we’ll list for each sentence what to circle, box, and underline.

But note: the original worksheet says “Find the correct answers at the bottom of the page.” And at the bottom, there’s a key:

> Answers:
> 1 - Except Accept; 2 - Are, Cut; 3 - Lose, Loose; 4 - Their, There; 5 - Than, Then;
> 6 - Your's, You're; 7 - To, Too; 8 - Moved, Mood; 9 - Bear, Bare; 10 - Passed, Past;
> 11 - Principal, Principle; 12 - Stationary, Stationery; 13 - Affect, Effect; 14 - Whose, Who's

Wait — that doesn’t match our task! Our task is about nouns, verbs, adjectives — but the answer key at the bottom is for homophones or commonly confused words.

That suggests maybe the image has two parts? Or perhaps the answer key is for a different section?

Looking again at the user’s image description — the top says “Nouns, Verbs and Adjective” and then lists 14 sentences. At the very bottom, it says “Answers” followed by pairs like “Except/Accept”, etc.

This seems mismatched. Possibly, the answer key is for a different exercise on the same page? Or maybe it’s a mistake?

But the user’s task is clear: “Circle the nouns, draw a box around the verbs and underline the adjectives in each sentence.”

And the instruction says: “(Find the correct answers at the bottom of the page.)”

But the answers listed don’t correspond to identifying parts of speech — they look like choices for filling blanks or correcting errors.

This is confusing.

Perhaps the “answers” at the bottom are not for this exercise? Maybe they are for another section?

Given that, and since the user uploaded the image with the task being to identify nouns, verbs, adjectives, I think we should ignore the answer key at the bottom because it doesn’t match the task.

Maybe it’s a typo or misplacement in the worksheet.

So, proceeding with our analysis.

To present the final answer clearly, since we can’t draw circles/boxes/underlines in text, we’ll write for each sentence:

- Nouns: [list]
- Verbs: [list]
- Adjectives: [list]

And that will be our final answer.

Let’s finalize each sentence carefully.

---

Rechecking Sentence 9: “Our new sofa looks great in our living room.”

- “looks” is a linking verb.
- “great” is a predicate adjective — describes “sofa”.
- “living” is an adjective modifying “room”.

So adjectives: Our, new, great, living

Yes.

Sentence 13: “I tried listening to the boring speech but I fell asleep.”

- “fell” is a linking verb.
- “asleep” is an adjective describing “I”.

So adjectives: boring, asleep

Yes.

Sentence 7: “Fluffy pancakes taste the best.”

- “taste” is a linking verb.
- “best” is an adjective (superlative) describing “pancakes”.

So adjectives: Fluffy, best

Yes.

Now, compiling all:

This is accurate based on standard elementary grammar rules.

Note: Some might argue about pronouns like "I", "We", "She" — but in grammar, personal pronouns are considered nouns (they replace nouns). So we included them as nouns.

Also, gerunds like "getting", "listening" are verb forms but function as nouns or verbs depending on context. Here, in "like getting", "getting" is part of the verb phrase, so we boxed it as verb. Similarly, "tried listening" — "listening" is a gerund object, but often in such exercises, it's treated as part of the verb action. To keep it simple for students, we'll leave as is.

Some teachers might classify "getting" and "listening" as nouns (gerunds), but in this context, since they follow main verbs and show action, boxing them as verbs is acceptable for this level.

To be precise, let's check:

In sentence 4: "I like getting long letters." — "getting" is a gerund, functioning as the direct object of "like". So technically, it's a noun. But many elementary worksheets treat "-ing" words after verbs as part of the verb phrase.

This is ambiguous.

Looking at common practice in such worksheets, they often consider the main action verb and any helping verbs, and sometimes include gerunds as verbs if they're part of the action.

To avoid overcomplicating, and since the worksheet likely expects simple identification, I'll adjust:

For sentence 4: "like" is the main verb, "getting" is a gerund (noun) — so perhaps "getting" should be circled as noun?

But that would change things.

Let me think differently.

Standard approach in elementary grammar:

- Verbs: show action or state of being. Include helping verbs + main verb.
- Gerunds (-ing words used as nouns) are nouns.
- Participles (-ing words used as adjectives) are adjectives.

In sentence 4: "getting" is the object of "like", so it's a gerund → noun.

Similarly, in sentence 13: "listening" is the object of "tried" → gerund → noun.

Oh no — I think I made a mistake.

Let me correct:

Sentence 4: I like getting long letters.

- "I" = pronoun (noun)
- "like" = verb
- "getting" = gerund (functions as noun) → so circle it
- "letters" = noun
- "long" = adjective

So:

Nouns: I, getting, letters
Verbs: like
Adjectives: long

Similarly, Sentence 13: I tried listening to the boring speech but I fell asleep.

- "I" = noun
- "tried" = verb
- "listening" = gerund (object of "tried") → noun
- "speech" = noun
- "boring" = adjective
- "fell" = verb (linking)
- "asleep" = adjective

So:

Nouns: I, listening, speech
Verbs: tried, fell
Adjectives: boring, asleep

This is more accurate.

Similarly, in sentence 3: "should eat" — "should" is auxiliary verb, "eat" is main verb — so box both.

In sentence 8: "must stand" — same.

In sentence 12: "asked" and "drive" — "drive" is infinitive, but in "to drive", it's part of the verb phrase? Actually, "asked his sister to drive" — "to drive" is an infinitive phrase acting as object complement. But "drive" itself is a verb.

Typically, in such exercises, "to drive" is not boxed as verb; only the main verb "asked" is boxed, and "drive" might be considered part of the infinitive.

This is getting complex.

For simplicity at elementary level, usually:

- Only finite verbs are boxed (verbs that show tense).
- Infinitives ("to drive") are not boxed as verbs; they are treated as verbal phrases.

But in many worksheets, they box the main action verb and ignore infinitives or gerunds as separate entities.

To resolve this, let's look for consistency.

Perhaps the safest way is to follow what is typically done in such exercises:

- Circle all nouns including pronouns and gerunds.
- Box only the main verbs that are conjugated (show tense), not infinitives or gerunds.
- Underline adjectives.

So revising:

Sentence 4: I like getting long letters.

- Nouns: I, getting, letters (since "getting" is a gerund, acts as noun)
- Verbs: like (only the main verb; "getting" is not boxed as verb)
- Adjectives: long

Sentence 13: I tried listening to the boring speech but I fell asleep.

- Nouns: I, listening, speech
- Verbs: tried, fell ("listening" is gerund, not boxed; "to drive" isn't here, but "listening" is object)
- Adjectives: boring, asleep

Sentence 12: Thomas asked his big sister to drive him to the stadium.

- "to drive" is an infinitive — not a finite verb, so not boxed.
- Only "asked" is the main verb.
- "drive" is part of the infinitive phrase, not boxed.

So:

Nouns: Thomas, sister, stadium ("him" is pronoun, also noun — forgot!)
"him" is a pronoun, so noun.

So:

Nouns: Thomas, sister, him, stadium
Verbs: asked
Adjectives: his, big

"his" is possessive adjective, "big" is adjective.

Yes.

Similarly, in sentence 3: "We should eat" — "should" is modal auxiliary, "eat" is main verb — both are part of the verb phrase, so box "should eat".

In sentence 8: "must stand" — box both.

In sentence 11: "came" and "was" — both verbs.

Now, let's redo all sentences with this corrected understanding.

- Verbs: asked (to drive is infinitive, not boxed)
- Adjectives: his, big

13. I tried listening to the boring speech but I fell asleep.
- Nouns: I, listening, speech (listening = gerund)
- Verbs: tried, fell
- Adjectives: boring, asleep

14. Robin jumped into the pool.
- Nouns: Robin, pool
- Verbs: jumped
- Adjectives: (none)

---

This is now consistent.

For sentence 12, "him" is a pronoun, so it's a noun — circle it.

Similarly, in sentence 3, "We" is pronoun — noun.

All good.

Now, for the final answer, we'll list as above.

Since the user might expect the answer in the format of the worksheet, and we can't draw, we'll write it out.

Final Answer:

1. Nouns: dress, pockets; Verbs: has; Adjectives: pink, many
2. Nouns: brother, race; Verbs: won; Adjectives: My, little
3. Nouns: We, restaurant; Verbs: should eat; Adjectives: Italian
4. Nouns: I, getting, letters; Verbs: like; Adjectives: long
5. Nouns: sweater; Verbs: is; Adjectives: My, old, comfortable
