Adjective Recognition Practice


Remember that an adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or a pronoun.  An adjective answers the questions:

  •  What kind?
  •  How many?
  •  Which one?
Exercise Directions: Write down the adjectives in the following sentences.  The number in parenthesis behind the sentence is the number of adjectives in the sentence.  Some sentences do not have a number in parenthesis, so you'll have to find all the adjectives on your own.  Remember that "a, an, the" are adjectives, known as articles.  Include them in your list of adjectives.
