Linking Verbs and Predicate Adjectives

Worksheet Description

The worksheet provided is focused on the use of linking verbs in conjunction with predicate adjectives. It contains two columns, one listing linking verbs and the other listing predicate adjectives. The students are instructed to form sentences by choosing a verb from the first column and pairing it with an adjective from the second column. The format is open-ended, allowing for creative sentence construction, and there is space provided for students to write their sentences.

This exercise is aimed at teaching students how to use linking verbs to connect subjects with their complements, which in this case are adjectives that describe the subject. Linking verbs do not show action but instead serve to link the subject with additional information about the subject’s state or quality. By selecting verbs and adjectives that logically fit together, students learn to enhance their descriptive writing. The worksheet encourages students to apply their understanding of syntax and the use of descriptive language to express clear and detailed thoughts.
