To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each sentence and find two things:
1.
The Object or Animal: This is the thing that isn't a human (like a moon, clock, or flower). We will circle this.
2.
The Action: This is what the object is doing that makes it seem like a person. We will underline this part.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each sentence:
Sentence 1: "The moon plays hide and seek with the clouds."
*
Object: The moon (it's a planet/space object, not a person).
*
Action: plays hide and seek (only people play games).
Sentence 2: "My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning."
*
Object: My alarm clock (it's a machine).
*
Action: yells at me (machines make noise, but they don't "yell" angrily like people).
Sentence 3: "The avalanche devoured anything standing in its way."
*
Object: The avalanche (it's snow and ice moving down a hill).
*
Action: devoured anything standing in its way ("devour" means to eat hungrily, which snow cannot do).
Sentence 4: "The stairs groaned as we walked down them."
*
Object: The stairs (they are made of wood or stone).
*
Action: groaned (stairs make creaking sounds, but "groaning" is something people do when they are tired or in pain).
Sentence 5: "The camera loves him since he is so handsome."
*
Object: The camera (it's a tool for taking pictures).
*
Action: loves him (cameras don't have feelings; only people can love someone).
Sentence 6: "My flowers are begging for water."
*
Object: My flowers (they are plants).
*
Action: are begging for water (plants need water, but they can't speak or beg like humans do).
Sentence 7: "The thunder is grumbling in the distance."
*
Object: The thunder (it's a loud noise from a storm).
*
Action: is grumbling (thunder rumbles, but "grumbling" is what people do when they are upset).
