Where's The Adjective?

An adjective is a word which modifies a noun. It describes the noun, or names one of the characteristics of a noun.

For example, the following adjectives are underlined:

red car, sweet apple, dirty water

Circle the adjectives that describe the underlined noun or nouns in each sentence. (Words that you should circle are in italics.)
