Across
- 5. descriptive words that add detail to a sentence. They can give important or necessary information (e.g., Please hand me the blue paper), or they can just make the sentence more interesting (e.g. A frigid wind blew around the icy town). They describe nouns. Please sew the red dress. The weather is hot and humid. The stuffed toy is fuzzy and round.
- 6. people, places, or things.
- 7. action words that tell you what the subject of the sentence is up to. He ran into the wall. She buys new shoes. The cat licks its fur.
Down
- 1. a set of symbols that separates and gives meaning to words (e.g. full stop, comma).
- 2. words that replace nouns (I, me, she, we, they, who, that, yours, his, her, etc).
- 3. describe verbs, adjectives, or even a whole sentence. They often end with the suffix -ly (for example, badly, hungrily), but some look the same as their adjective forms (e.g. fast).
- 4. past, present, or future.
