Describe, Count, Point, or Ask: Types of Adjectives for Class 6

This Grade 6 worksheet introduces students to four main types of adjectives—descriptive, quantitative, demonstrative, and interrogative. Through underlining, sorting, sentence correction, and original sentence writing, learners build confidence in choosing and applying the right adjective in every context.

Why Types of Adjectives Matter in Grammar?

Understanding adjective types helps students use language with accuracy and variety. For Grade 6 learners, this topic is important because:

1. It teaches the function of different adjective forms (what kind, how many, which one, whose).

2. It improves descriptive, narrative, and explanatory writing.

3. It reinforces proper word choice and grammar structure.

4. It builds critical awareness for advanced grammar topics.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes five grammar-building exercises focused on adjective classification and application:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Adjectives and Label

Students underline the adjective in each sentence and label it as Descriptive, Quantitative, Demonstrative, or Interrogative.

✏️ Exercise 2 – Sorting Exercise

📋 Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks

Students complete ten sentences by inserting the appropriate adjective type based on the context.

📝 Exercise 4 – Sentence Correction

Learners identify and correct errors in adjective usage and rewrite each sentence using the correct adjective.

🎨 Exercise 5 – Sentence Writing

Students write two original sentences for each of the four adjective types: descriptive, quantitative, demonstrative, and interrogative.
