Proper Modifier

Worksheet Description

This worksheet gives students a wide range of words. They will then identify its part of speech, whether it’s a noun or a verb, and how they would go about modifying it in a written sentence by writing either “adjective” or “adverb” on the line. You can turn this into an extra credit activity by having students use the terms in sentences that they will compose on their own.

To accomplish this worksheet, students wil first determine the word’s part of speech. If it’s a noun or pronoun, it means the word can be modified by adjectives. If it’s a verb, adjective, or an adverb, then it can be modified by adverbs.
