Adjective Phrases Worksheets

What are adjective phrases? Adjective phrases are groups of words that work together to describe something. They always contain an adjective, but also have other words working with them to add even more detail. For example: My dad is smarter than your dad. In this sentence, "smarter than your dad" is an adjective phrase that describes "my dad." "Faster" is the comparative adjective that anchors the phrase, and the whole group of words serves as a predicate adjective in the sentence. Adjective phrases are the spice of life when it comes to making your writing more interesting. Use the worksheets below to help practice learning about adjective phrases!
