About this worksheet

What kids practice

Nouns, verbs and adjectives are the building blocks of sentences. A noun names a person, place or thing. A verb is an action word that tells what someone does. An adjective is a describing word that tells about a noun, like its color, size or how it feels. First graders also learn to add s or es for more than one, and to add -ed for something that already happened.

Watch for

  • Calling every word in a sentence a noun.
  • Adding s when there is only one, or forgetting it when there are more.
  • Adding -ed to words that change instead, like "runned" for ran.
  • Mixing up adjectives and nouns, as in thinking "red" is a thing.

It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full nouns, verbs and adjectives guide for 1st grade.
