Adjectival Forms

Patterns of Word Changes #6

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on converting nouns to their corresponding adjectival forms. Students are presented with a list of nouns in the left column and three possible adjectival forms in the right column. Their task is to identify and circle the correct adjective derived from each noun. This requires a good grasp of suffixes and an understanding of how they alter a noun to describe a quality, condition, or relation.

The worksheet is structured to help students learn the patterns of word transformation from nouns to adjectives in English. It reinforces the concept that many adjectives are formed by adding specific suffixes to nouns, and it challenges students to discern which suffix creates the correct adjective. Through this exercise, students are encouraged to expand their vocabulary and improve their ability to recognize and use different parts of speech. By completing the activity, they enhance their skills in word formation, an essential component of language mastery.
