Adjectives Lessons

English has a wealth of vocabulary to describe someone's character. The list can be quite daunting for students! These cards provide a fun way to help your students build their knowledge of these adjectives. There are sixteen different words (e.g. sympathetic, vain, short-tempered) which students need to match to the descriptions. There's also a quiz checking your students have learned the new language. This can be used in the lesson, or set as homework.

Lots of practice of 'As...As' comparisons, with added modifiers (not quite as, not nearly as, etc.)
