Create An Adjective

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a vocabulary exercise that focuses on the use of the suffix “-less” to form adjectives from nouns. It provides a list of nouns and prompts students to add the suffix “-less” to each noun, thereby turning them into adjectives. The nouns listed include “bound,” “juice,” and “shame,” among others, which when combined with “-less,” are transformed into adjectives such as “boundless” or “juiceless.” Students are to write these newly formed adjectives in the space provided next to each noun.

The purpose of this worksheet is to educate students on how adding the suffix “-less” to a noun can change it into an adjective that describes a lack or absence of the noun’s inherent quality or characteristic. It is designed to enhance the students’ understanding of word formation and the concept of negation in adjectives. Through this activity, students also expand their vocabulary by learning new adjectives and the contexts in which they could be applicable. Moreover, it demonstrates the morphological flexibility of English words and encourages students to explore the formation of words on their own.
