A/An Starter Boost: Articles Before Adjectives for Class 2

This Class 2 worksheet builds strong understanding of how to use the articles “a” and “an” correctly before adjectives. Children often learn articles before nouns, but choosing the right one before describing words is an essential next step. Through simple, real-life sentences and engaging exercises, learners practise identifying vowel and consonant sounds to pick the correct article every time.

Why Articles Before Adjectives Matter in Grammar?

Understanding how to use articles before adjectives helps young learners build clearer, more accurate sentences. This topic is essential in Grade 2 because:
1. It teaches children to listen to the sound of the adjective, not the noun that follows.
2. Choosing the correct article strengthens early writing and speaking fluency.
3. It improves sentence structure and overall grammar accuracy.
4. It helps children describe objects and ideas correctly in everyday communication.
