Adjectives

An adjective is a word which gives more information about a noun.
E.g. Tom is a mischievous boy. Or Tom is mischievous.

Without adjectives, reading, writing and speaking would be very dull.
These descriptive words make language “colourful”.

Exercise 5:
Let’s make this story more interesting! Underline the correct adjective
in each bracket. The first one has been done for you.

Princess Kate was a ( loyal / disloyal ) fan of 1. ( famous / unknown ) rock star,
Justin Gibber. One day, she left her 2. ( ancient / dilapidated) castle to attend his concert
with her 3. ( best / worst ) friend, Peter, who was a 4. ( shy / brave ) knight.

Upon reaching the stadium, a blast of 5. ( loud / soft ) music greeted them.
Anxious not to miss out on the fun, they joined the throngs of people who were making
their way into the stadium. Just then, a 6. ( tame / fierce ) dragon swooped down from
the sky breathing fire and sending the crowd into a panic. It roared at Princess Kate, its
intended target, “You look 7. ( delectable / unappetizing ) enough to eat!”

The 8. ( angry / frightened ) Princess cried out, “Help! Help!” Peter, usually the
brave and fearless knight, was helpless without his 9. ( blunt / sharp ) sword. He did
not expect to have to fight a dragon at a concert and had left it at home.

At that moment, Kuro, a 10. ( fearless / timid ) ninja appeared in front of Princess
Kate and shouted, “Dragon! Have this 11. ( green / orange ) broccoli instead!” Throwing
a large broccoli at the dragon, he said, “Broccoli is 12. ( bad / good ) for your health.
Princesses will give you a 13. ( terrible / wonderful ) stomachache!”

The hungry dragon munched on the broccoli and exclaimed, “You are right! This
broccoli is 14. ( bland / delicious ). It tastes much better than princesses.”

Saved by the broccoli, Princess Kate, Peter and Kuro went into the stadium to
attend Justin Gibber’s 15. ( entertaining / boring ) concert and were wowed by the
performance of the superstar! The dragon, in the meantime, was watching the
fascinating concert from a distance.

It was setting its sights on a new target. It thought, “I wonder whether rock
stars taste as well as they sing?”
