How to Use This Pack

Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students circle the words in the usual order. Pages 2 and 5: students write the adjectives in the box before the noun in the usual order. Page 3: students circle what kind of adjective the underlined word is. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.

In the Classroom

Hand out cards with a noun and three adjectives. Groups stand in a line to put the words in order, then read the phrase aloud.

At Home

Describe objects with three adjectives and ask if the order sounds right: a red big ball, or a big red ball?

Tips for Success

  • Opinion comes first: a lovely old house
  • Size before age and color
  • Material goes right before the noun
  • Check the answer key

Order of Adjectives

4th Grade

The usual order of adjectives before a noun: opinion, size, age, shape, color, and material, as in a big old wooden box. Students choose the usual order, write adjectives in order, and name the kind of each adjective.
