This easy worksheet introduces second graders to adjectives as describing words. In Part A, students sort six words into 'Adjective' and 'Not an Adjective' to separate describing words from verbs and nouns. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank questions about what adjectives do and how they describe nouns. Part C ends with four true-or-false statements that check basic understanding, such as whether 'tall' is an adjective and whether adjectives describe nouns.
