Adjectives for Year 2, with two tasks and an answer key over three pages. Pupils choose one word from three in brackets to fill the gap in eight sentences, such as The ice was cold, hot or furry. Page 2 shows a cake, a dragon, a snowman and a puppy, and pupils write one adjective for each. They then use one of their phrases in a full sentence. The key gives three sample adjectives for every picture. It follows England National Curriculum grammar.
