First, we have to choose which word is
the adjective in a sentence from the story "The Little Mermaid."
1. Ariel and Flounder explored a sunken ship.
The adjective is (sunken).
The adjective is letting the reader know the ship is not floating, but
it is at the bottom of the ocean floor.
The adjective is describing the ship.
In this sentence there are two different adjectives. Be Careful!
2. Ariel and Flounder swam to the surface
to find Scuttle, a silly
seagull who claimed to
know all about the human
world.
The adjectives are silly and
human.
The adjective is letting the reader know the seagull is funny (silly)
and the world is (human) not the merfolk world.
The adjective silly is describing the seagull and the adjective human
is describing the world.
Now it is your turn to practice with
adjectives! Write the answers on a separate sheet of paper.
3. The little mermaid's beautiful voice was captured in the
seashell.
4. The softhearted crab knew Ariel would be miserable without
Eric, so he promised to help her win the prince's heart.
(Careful there are two adjectives!)
5.
Meanwhile,
Eric was on the palace balcony, wondering if he would ever find the
mysterious girl with the beautiful voice.
(Careful
there are two adjectives!)
