1. Identify the adjectives in the followig sentence. You can choose more than one answer.
After a rainfall, bugs, slugs, and all sorts of multilegged critters would descend from the ceilings and fall on the kitchen table, or worse, on our bunks.
Rainfall
Sorts
Multilegged
Kitchen
My answer:
1. Sorts and multilegged
Multilegged is right, but sorts is a noun.
The other adjective is usually used as a noun, but in this sentence modifies a noun.
Hm ok. So maybe the answer is multilegged and kitchen? Is that correct?
Right. Kitchen is the other adjective.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
To identify the adjectives in a sentence, you can look for words that describe or give more information about nouns. In the given sentence, the adjectives are:
1. "Rainfall" - This is a noun, not an adjective. It refers to a type of precipitation, not describing anything.
2. "Sorts" - This is an adjective because it describes the types or kinds of bugs, slugs, and critters that would descend.
3. "Multilegged" - This is an adjective because it describes the type of critters that would fall on the kitchen table or bunks.
4. "Kitchen" - This is an adjective because it describes the type of table the bugs, slugs, and critters would fall on.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Sorts" and "Multilegged."
