Matching Meaning

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool for matching adjectives that end with the suffix “-y” to their correct meanings. The left column lists adjectives such as “bony” and “greasy,” while the right column offers a variety of phrases that describe certain qualities or conditions. Students are tasked with drawing lines or otherwise connecting each word to its appropriate meaning. The presence of an image of a character on a book suggests the worksheet is intended to be engaging and enjoyable for students.

The worksheet’s purpose is to teach students about the descriptive nature of adjectives ending in “-y” and to expand their vocabulary by connecting words to their definitions. It aims to help students understand how such adjectives can convey specific characteristics, enhancing their descriptive language abilities. By carefully reading the meanings and analyzing the words, students develop critical thinking skills as they determine the most suitable matches. The exercise also indirectly prepares students to use these adjectives effectively in their own writing and oral communication.
