Just below this post, you’ll find a context clues worksheet on the noun and adjective plebeian. Here is a context clues worksheet on the noun and adjective patrician to accompany it. Once again, I’ve combined two parts of speech in this worksheet, again because they are the same word with the same basic meanings. Maybe the two parts of speech require separate worksheet, but I haven’t found that to be the case so far in using this. This worksheet might present teachers with an opportunity to help students gain an understanding of basic English usage.

This context clues worksheet on the noun and adjective plebeian might take your students part of the way to understanding social class. I’ve set it up as both a noun and an adjective because the words are the same, and because they mean the same thing. Perhaps these two words in their two parts of speech require separate worksheets, but so far I haven’t thought so. If nothing else, you could use this to assist students in developing their own understanding of how the parts of speech function in sentences.

The next context clues worksheet I post will be patrician to complement this worksheet.
