Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the describing word in each sentence.
The fluffy cat sleeps.
The warm muffin sits on a plate.
The red apple is on the table.
The heavy box sits here.
The tiny ant carries a crumb.
The blue car stops.
A yellow duck swims.
The big dog barks.
A describing word gives a reader more information about a noun. Instead of only saying a dog, a writer can say a big dog, a muddy dog or a shy dog, and the reader can picture it. Describing words tell what something looks, sounds, feels or tastes like, how big it is and what color it is. On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a short sentence with exactly one describing word, and your child circles it from a row of words taken from the sentence.
Support sheets use common words such as big, red and soft, and later sheets use richer words such as muddy, crunchy and generous. Ask: what is the thing like?
