Insert An Adjective

Worksheet Description

The “Word Formation” worksheet provided is an educational activity where students are tasked with transforming nouns and verbs into adjectives to complete sentences. Each sentence on the worksheet contains a blank space where an adjective is required, and the word that needs to be changed is given in brackets. The students’ job is to convert the bracketed word into its adjective form and write it in the blank to complete the sentence properly. For instance, the word “care” in brackets must be turned into “careful” to fit the sentence “That ___ work is John’s.”

This worksheet teaches students how to create adjectives from words in other grammatical categories, a foundational skill in English grammar. It encourages learners to think about word roots and the various affixes that can be added to them to form adjectives. This exercise also helps to expand the students’ vocabulary by showing them how a single base word can be used in different forms to convey unique meanings. By completing this worksheet, students practice and reinforce their understanding of how adjectives work to describe nouns, thus enhancing their writing and speaking abilities.
