Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing adjectives with verbs or nouns. Second graders often label action words like 'run' or 'jump' as adjectives because they sound descriptive, when adjectives actually describe what a noun is like.
• Forgetting that adjectives need a noun to describe. Students may circle 'fluffy' but miss that it is describing 'cat,' or they pick a word with no noun nearby.
• Mixing up comparative endings. When comparing two things, second graders sometimes say 'more tall' instead of 'taller,' or add '-er' to long adjectives where it does not belong.
