In grade 2, students learn to distinguish between adjectives and adverbs. Adverbs are words that describe verbs and adjectives are words that describe nouns. To help support students in learning to make this distinction, we have created a series of grammar worksheets.

Let’s take a closer look.

Adverbs and adjectives

This set of worksheets asks students to circle the adverbs and underline the adjectives in a grid of words.

The English language is chock full of words that are distinguished from one another by subtle differences.

Take the words ‘fast’ and ‘quick’, for example.  Both words have to do with moving, but one is distinguished by moving at high speed, whereas the other by moving or doing something in a short time. 

To learn the rich vocabulary of English, students in elementary school study the shades of meaning of groups of words. This helps them to better express themselves in both their oral presentations and writing.

We’ve created shades of meaning worksheets for grade 2 and grade 3 students.

Grade 2 shades of meaning worksheets
