Circle The Right Form

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides an exercise on transforming verbs into adjectives by altering their endings, which is a common practice in English word formation. It presents a list of verbs and two potential adjectival forms for each. Students are instructed to circle the correct adjective derived from each verb. The adjectives are created by adding suffixes like -ing or -ive to the base verb, which alters the word to describe a quality or condition.

The aim of this worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding of adjectives and their formation from verbs. It teaches them to recognize and form the correct adjectival versions of given verbs by applying appropriate suffixes. This activity helps students to expand their vocabulary and improves their ability to describe nouns more vividly. By completing the exercise, students learn how suffixes can change the grammatical function of a word from an action (verb) to a descriptor (adjective).
