Verbs — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. jump
2. run
3. kick
4. swim
5. clap
6. sing
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The dog can run fast.
Dogs use their legs to go fast, and that action is called running. Run tells what the dog does, so it fills the blank.
2. I like to swim in the pool.
In a pool you move through water — that action is swim. It is the only word that matches what people do in a pool.
3. We clap our hands.
When you bring your hands together to make a loud sound, you clap. Clap tells us what we are doing with our hands.
4. She can sing a song.
You make a song come alive by using your voice, and that is called singing. Sing is the action word that completes the sentence.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word run is a verb.
True False
True — run tells about moving your legs quickly, and any word that tells about doing something is a verb.
2. The word blue is a verb.
True False
False — blue is a color that describes things, like the sky. You cannot DO a blue, so it is not a verb.
3. The word jump is a verb.
True False
True — jump is something your body does when it springs off the floor. Words for doing are verbs.
