Find the Adjectives in Each Sentence

About this worksheet

Ten sentences with 17 adjectives to circle: size words (big, tiny, tall, little), colors (red, blue, green, gray), feel and taste words (soft, sweet, juicy, smooth, cozy) and more. A picture sits next to every sentence; the key circles each adjective in red. It fits second grade grammar, ages 7 to 8, with the rule printed at the top when there is one to remember.

On this sheet

sentences have two. The big dog ran to the gate. I have a red hat and blue mittens. The soft kitten is asleep. We ate sweet, juicy grapes. A tiny ant climbed the tall tree. The old barn has a green door. The sky is gray today. My little brother has a loud drum. We skated on the cold, smooth ice. Grandma made a warm, cozy quilt.

Tips for using it

• Do one grammar sheet at a time and read the instructions aloud together; the rule usually fits in one sentence.
• Ask children to say each sentence out loud before they write: most grammar mistakes sound wrong when spoken.
• Use the answer key to let older kids check their own work with a colored pencil.
• Mix one picture sheet with one writing sheet per week so grammar does not feel like a test.
