Part 1: Circle the verbs

We are given a list of words and need to identify which ones are verbs — "doing" words.

List:
- walk ✔ (action)
- kitten ✘ (noun – a young cat)
- say ✔ (action)
- eat ✔ (action)
- water ✔ (can be a verb, e.g., “water the plants”)
- fly ✔ (action)
- book ✘ (noun or verb? In this context, likely noun; but can be verb. However, in grade 1, it's often used as a noun)
- stop ✔ (action)
- paper ✘ (noun – like notebook paper)
- mouse ✘ (noun – animal or computer device)
- writes ✔ (verb, present tense of write)
- sang ✔ (past tense of sing)
- stood ✔ (past tense of stand)
- blanket ✘ (noun)
- pig ✘ (noun)

✔ Verbs to circle:
walk, say, eat, water, fly, stop, writes, sang, stood

> Note: "book" can be a verb ("to book a ticket"), but in early grades, it's usually treated as a noun here. So we stick with clear action words.
