Verbs worksheet for students to identify and use action words in sentences.

Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Step 1: Identify the Verbs

The box contains these words:

> eat, skip, house, sleep, smile,
> box, jump, draw, pencil, tree,
> fly, bark, sing, flip, spoon

Verbs are action words — they describe what someone or something does.

✔ Verbs in the box:
- eat
- skip
- sleep
- smile
- jump
- draw
- fly
- bark
- sing
- flip

✘ Not verbs (nouns):
- house
- box
- pencil
- tree
- spoon

*(Note: Some words like “house” or “fly” can be both noun and verb, but in this context, we’re looking for the most common usage. “Fly” is clearly a verb here — to move through air. “House” is mostly a noun.)*

So we circle:
> eat, skip, sleep, smile, jump, draw, fly, bark, sing, flip

Step 2: Use those verbs to complete the sentences

We must choose the correct verb from the circled list to make each sentence grammatically and logically correct.
