The task presented to the students is to add “-y” to the end of each word listed, thereby transforming each one into an adjective.

The worksheet is designed with a simple layout, providing a clear and focused exercise for the students to complete.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to convert nouns and verbs into adjectives by adding the suffix “-y”. It emphasizes the morphological change that occurs when a suffix is attached to a word, demonstrating how the meaning shifts to describe a characteristic. By completing the exercise, students practice word formation and enhance their vocabulary. The activity is structured to reinforce the understanding of this common grammatical structure in English language learning.
