Adjectives with -ful

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to practice the formation of adjectives by adding the suffix “-ful” to various base words. It provides a list of nouns and verbs, such as “care,” “success,” and “master,” and directs students to create adjectives by appending “-ful,” thereby indicating “full of” the quality denoted by the base word. The students are to write the new adjectives in the blanks provided. This exercise guides them through the process of how a suffix modifies the meaning of a base word to create a new descriptive term.

The worksheet is teaching students how to use the suffix “-ful” to form adjectives that describe someone or something as having the qualities of the root word. For instance, adding “-ful” to “care” creates “careful,” meaning full of care. The activity helps students understand how suffixes can change the part of speech of a word, expanding their vocabulary with adjectives commonly used in the English language. Additionally, it reinforces the concept that suffixes carry specific meanings that are consistently applicable across different root words.
