Adjective Quiz

Welcome to Mice In The Classroom! This blog offers examples of curriculum for students K-12 who use English as a second language (ESL) and English as a first language (EFL). Lessons are primarily prepared for Intermediate Level learners and are used as part of one-on-one tutoring and small group sessions. The quiz below is only one example of reading exercises and comprehension questions for both ESL/EFL students. If you would like to schedule tutoring sessions or if you have lesson plan ideas to share, please contact me by leaving your email address and a brief message in the "comments" area at the bottom of this posting. Learning is a wonderful experience and with the internet, the process is only a "mice" click away.

Now, let's have some fun with today's exercise:


Adjective Quiz

An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun in a sentence. Adjectives are nouns too but become adjectives when they come before a noun. Adjectives tell us more about what size, color, shape, and how many there are.

Here are some examples of adjectives:

blue sweater
car keys
dirty water
bright lights
Christmas tree

Read the following sentences then circle every adjective.

1. We went to a French restaurant for dinner.
2. A black cat sat on the green sofa.
3. Jerry is in the fifth grade.
4. Dad wore a white shirt and gray pants.
5. We had cloudy weather for three days.
6. Let’s have lemon cake for strawberry ice cream for dessert.
7. My uncle has three children and a large dog.
8. Do you want a piece of chocolate candy?
9. Tom got an blue bicycle and a cowboy hat for his birthday.
10. He played piano music in the school concert.
11. Paul has brown eyes and black hair.
12. Give me that yellow pencil and some white paper please.

English has always been one of my favorite school subjects. How many did you get right? Find the answers in "comments".
