In the English language, the part of speech indicates how a word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within any given sentence. The verb is one of the eight parts of speech in the English language. In any sentence, the verb expresses action or being. It is a word or a combination of words that indicates action or a state of being or condition. In other words, a verb tells us what the subject performs. Generally, there is the main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs in any given sentence.
Action verbs or dynamic verbs as these are otherwise known, express an action whether physical or mental. It is a verb that describes an action, like give, walk, run, jump, eat, build, cry, smile, think, or play. An action verb explains what the subject of the sentence is doing or has done. There are lots of action verbs used in the English language.
The worksheet focuses on educating first graders about action verbs. It consists of exercises to recognize action verbs. To determine if a word is an action verb or not one must look at the sentence and see if the word shows something one can do or something someone can be or feel. If it is something they can do, then it is an action verb. For example, in the sentence – ‘I run’, ‘run’ is an action that one can perform. Hence, ‘run’ is an action verb.
