Word Fill-Ins

Patterns of Word Changes #5

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a three-column table where students are given one form of a word and must fill in the missing verb, noun, or adjective forms in the corresponding empty cells. The worksheet provides a mix of starting points, sometimes offering the verb form, other times the noun or adjective, but not all three. The exercise requires students to draw upon their knowledge of word formation and apply it to complete the table. It is an activity that challenges students to think about how words in English can change form to fit different grammatical functions.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the morphological relationships between verbs, nouns, and adjectives in English. By requiring students to convert words from one part of speech to another, it enhances their understanding of how words are constructed and modified. The activity also aims to expand the students’ vocabulary by familiarizing them with different word forms. Ultimately, the exercise prepares students to recognize and use these words correctly in various grammatical contexts, which is vital for language proficiency.
