Hello! Let's explore some fun parts of English called "parts of speech." Read the instructions for each section carefully and do your best!

Part 1: Adjective & Noun Hunt

An adjective is a word that describes a noun. A noun is a person, place, or thing. In each sentence below, circle the adjective and underline the noun it describes.

Example: The (fast) car drove by.

  1. The fluffy kitten played with yarn.
  2. He rode his new bike to the park.
  3. She ate a sweet strawberry.
  4. The brave firefighter climbed the ladder.
  5. We saw a huge whale in the ocean.

Part 2: Powerful Pronouns

A pronoun takes the place of a noun (like he, she, it, they). Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun from the box to replace the underlined noun(s).
