✔ This is a worksheet designed to teach students how to identify *action verbs* — words that describe something someone or something *does*.

## 🔍 How to Solve This Worksheet

For each numbered line, you are given 4 words. Only one of them is an *action verb*. You must:

1. Identify which word is an action verb (something you can physically or mentally DO).
2. Circle it (in the actual worksheet).
3. Write it in the blank space provided (which appears to be after each line).

## 🧠 Let’s Go Line by Line

1) Eat small easy run

→ Eat and run are both action verbs. But since you’re supposed to pick only one per line, and “eat” is listed first, and often used as a basic example… but wait — let’s check the example given:

> Example: [ ] eat [✓] run [ ] sleep → run

So in the example, they chose run, even though “eat” is also an action verb. That suggests maybe they want the most clearly physical/active verb, or perhaps there's a typo.

But looking at the rest of the lines, we’ll assume only one correct answer per line.

Let’s go carefully:

✔ Correct Answers & Explanations:

#### 1) Eat small easy run
→ Eat or Run — both are action verbs.
But since “run” was chosen in the example, and “eat” might be confused as a noun sometimes, but actually “eat” is a clear action verb. However, if forced to pick one, and following the example pattern (they picked “run”), perhaps run is intended.
BUT — more logically, since “small”, “easy” are adjectives, and “eat” and “run” are verbs — both are correct, but the worksheet likely expects one.

➡️ Best choice: Run (matches example)

#### 2) walk giraffe lion man
→ Walk is the only action verb. Giraffe, lion, man = nouns.
✔ Answer: walk

#### 3) pants dress robe man
→ All are nouns. None are action verbs? Wait — “dress” can be a verb!
“Dress” = to put clothes on (e.g., “She will dress quickly”)
“Pants” = usually noun, rarely verb (archaic: “to pant” = to breathe hard, but not common).
“Robe” = noun or verb (“to robe oneself”) — rare.
“Man” = noun or verb (“to man the station”) — possible, but less common.

➡️ Best choice: dress (as verb)

#### 4) soft eat cold hot
→ “Eat” is the only action verb. Others are adjectives.
✔ Answer: eat

#### 5) light torch bulb hot
→ “Light” can be a verb (to illuminate) or noun. “Torch”, “bulb”, “hot” = noun/adjective.
➡️ Best choice: light (as verb: “Please light the candle.”)

#### 6) wide sure get slip
→ “Get” and “slip” are action verbs. “Wide”, “sure” = adjectives.
“Get” = to obtain
“Slip” = to slide or fall accidentally
Both are valid — but “get” is more general.
➡️ Best choice: get (more commonly taught as action verb)

#### 7) ride choose fight die
→ All are action verbs!
“Ride” = to sit on and control movement
“Choose” = mental action
“Fight” = physical/mental
“Die” = to cease living — yes, it’s an action verb (though passive in some contexts)
➡️ Any could work, but perhaps ride is most physical. Or follow pattern — maybe fight?

Actually, all are correct. But since worksheet likely wants one, pick the most active:
✔ Answer: fight

#### 8) green far heat rise
→ “Heat” and “rise” are action verbs.
“Heat” = to make warm
“Rise” = to go up
“Green”, “far” = adjectives.
➡️ Best choice: rise (more common as verb in basic grammar)

#### 9) glue teacher sit circular
→ “Sit” is the only action verb. “Glue” can be verb too (“glue the paper”), but “sit” is clearer.
“Teacher” = noun, “circular” = adjective.
✔ Answer: sit

#### 10) student wash pair fair
→ “Wash” is the action verb. “Student”, “pair”, “fair” = nouns/adjectives.
✔ Answer: wash

## 💡 Teaching Tip:

An action verb shows what the subject is doing — whether physical (run, jump, eat) or mental (think, believe, decide). Encourage students to ask: “Can I *do* this?” If yes, it’s likely an action verb.

---

✔ Summary:
You need to circle and write the one word per line that is an action verb. Most lines have only one clear choice. Some have multiple — pick the most obvious or commonly taught one.
