Class 5 Grammar Worksheet on Types of Adjectives – Descriptive, Quantitative, etc.

Know Your Words: Types of Adjectives for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet introduces learners to four main types of adjectives—descriptive, quantitative, demonstrative, and possessive. Through sorting, underlining, fill-in-the-blank, sentence rewriting, and image-based writing tasks, students will gain clarity on how adjectives function in sentences.

Why Types of Adjectives Matter in Grammar?

Each adjective type has a different role in helping describe nouns. For Grade 5 students, this concept is important because:

1. It builds understanding of what words do in a sentence.

2. It improves clarity in descriptive and narrative writing.

3. It teaches students how to answer questions like “Which one?”, “Whose?”, and “How many?”

4. It lays the foundation for grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes five creative, grammar-rich tasks that help students identify and use adjective types:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Color the Box

Students color all the boxes that contain adjectives from a mixed word bank (e.g., joyful, many, this).

✏️ Exercise 2 – Underline and Label

Learners underline the adjective in each sentence and label its type (Descriptive, Quantitative, Demonstrative, Possessive).

📋 Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks

Students complete each sentence with a suitable adjective, choosing from different types.

📝 Exercise 4 – Rewrite the Sentences

Each sentence must be rewritten by adding a meaningful adjective. Students label the adjective’s type as well.

🎨 Exercise 5 – Picture Description

Using a classroom image, students write four original sentences—each using a different type of adjective. They underline and label the adjective in each.
