Over the past few weeks we have been posting exercises to help you improve your vocabulary and learn new verbs. Now it’s time to focus on the adjectives! Here are 8 new describing words, from A-H. Try to match the adjective to the sentence. Good luck!
Let: The word "let" means the same as "allow" or "give permission." e.g. "My mother won't let me get my ears pierced until I'm 15."
Make: The word "make" means the same as “"force" or "cause to happen / cause to feel something." e.g. "My boss made me stay late every day this week!"
A really great way to learn new vocabulary is to learn words in pairs, like opposites.
For example if you learn ‘happy’ you pair it with ‘sad’.
Each sentence below has an adjective missing, the opposite to the one in brackets. Can you complete the sentences correctly? Good luck!

Do you know where to put the adjective in a sentence? Follow these simple rules to help you remember:
1. The adjective comes before the noun.
"I live in a small house."
"I have a blue umbrella."
2. The adjective comes after the verb 'to be'.
"I am very tired. "
"Careful, the food is hot!"
An adjective is a describing word.
It tells you more about a noun. An adjective usually appears before the noun it describes.
For example: an old dog, a tall basketball player.
Sometimes, though, the adjective appears after the noun, later in the sentence.
Fill in the blanks with correct 8 adjectives below.
