Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best verb from the list that makes sense.
We have these verbs to choose from:
kick, play, catch, sing, jump, dance, hit, built, take, run
---
1. We _______ the football on the field.
→ You “kick” a football. So:
kick
2. Can you _______ the ball?
→ This could be “catch” or “hit”, but since it’s general, “catch” fits well for many balls. Let’s hold that thought — we’ll check others first.
3. Pam can _______ very fast.
→ People “run” fast. So:
run
4. Don _______ over the rock.
→ You “jump” over something. So:
jump
5. Sam _______ the baseball.
→ In baseball, you “hit” the ball with a bat. So:
hit
6. Mary and Paul _______ nice photos with their cameras.
→ You “take” photos. So:
take
7. My dad _______ a bird house.
→ He made it → past tense of build is “built”. So:
built
8. Mike _______ to junkanoo music.
→ Junkanoo is festive music — people “dance” to it. So:
dance
9. Lisa _______ happy birthday to Don.
→ You “sing” happy birthday. So:
sing
10. Let’s _______ basketball!
→ You “play” basketball. So:
play
Now let’s go back to #2: “Can you _______ the ball?”
We’ve used: kick, run, jump, hit, take, built, dance, sing, play
Leftover verb:
catch
Yes! “Can you catch the ball?” makes perfect sense.
All verbs are now used once. Perfect!
