📝 Explanation:
- All of these verbs are
past tense action verbs, which means they describe actions that already happened.
- Each verb tells us
what the subject (the person, animal, or thing) did.
- For example: "The children
picked" → the action was picking pumpkins.
This exercise helps students recognize verbs by focusing on the
action in each sentence. Great practice for understanding sentence structure and grammar!
