Interactive worksheet for practicing verb phrases with visual cues.

To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each picture and match it with the correct action from the list provided. The actions are in the present continuous tense, which means they describe what is happening right now. We form these by using "am/is/are" + the verb ending in "-ing".

Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each question:

1. Picture 1: A boy is holding a phone to his ear.
* Action: He is talking on the phone.
* Verb phrase: talking

2. Picture 2: A girl is moving her body quickly, likely dancing or exercising. Looking at the options, "dancing" fits best.
* Action: She is dancing.
* Verb phrase: dancing

3. Picture 3: A boy is sitting down with a book open in front of him.
* Action: He is reading.
* Verb phrase: reading

4. Picture 4: Two children are standing next to each other and appear to be speaking.
* Action: They are talking. However, looking at the remaining options, let's re-evaluate. Picture 1 was clearly "talking on the phone". Is there another option? Let's look at the full list again: *cleaning, reading, talking on the phone, dancing, listening to music, having a rest, watching TV, doing homework*.
* Wait, let's look closer at Picture 4. The prompt says "Amy and Sam are ___". They are standing together. Let's look at the other pictures first to eliminate options.

5. Picture 5: A girl is lying on a sofa with her eyes closed or relaxing.
* Action: She is resting.
* Verb phrase: having a rest

6. Picture 6: A television set is shown with images on the screen.
* Action: Someone is watching TV. The subject is "We".
* Verb phrase: watching TV

7. Picture 7: A person is sitting at a desk with papers and a pen.
* Action: He is doing homework.
* Verb phrase: doing homework

8. Picture 8: A person is wearing headphones and moving to music.
* Action: She is listening to music.
* Verb phrase: listening to music

Now let's go back to the ones we weren't sure about or haven't placed yet.

* List of verbs provided: cleaning, reading, talking on the phone, dancing, listening to music, having a rest, watching TV, doing homework.
* Pictures assigned so far:
* 1: talking on the phone
* 2: dancing
* 3: reading
* 5: having a rest
* 6: watching TV
* 7: doing homework
* 8: listening to music

* Remaining Pictures:
* 4: Amy and Sam are...
* There is no picture explicitly labeled "cleaning" in the visible set of 8 items if we assume standard mapping. Let's re-examine Picture 4. Amy and Sam are standing. Are they cleaning? No. Are they talking? Yes. But "talking on the phone" is taken. Is there just "talking"? The list doesn't have just "talking". Let's look really closely at the small text in the word bank.
* Word bank: *cleaning, reading, talking on the phone, dancing, listening to music, having a rest, watching TV, doing homework*.
* There are 8 words/phrases and 8 questions.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 4. Amy and Sam are standing. Maybe they are cleaning? No, they aren't holding cleaning supplies.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 2. The girl is jumping/dancing. That fits dancing.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 1. Boy on phone. Fits talking on the phone.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 3. Boy with book. Fits reading.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 5. Girl on sofa. Fits having a rest.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 6. TV screen. Fits watching TV.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 7. Boy at desk. Fits doing homework.
* Let's re-evaluate Picture 8. Girl with headphones. Fits listening to music.

This leaves cleaning for Picture 4? That doesn't make sense visually. Let me look at Picture 4 again. Amy and Sam are standing. One is holding something? It looks like they might be holding brooms or mops? It's very blurry. If they are holding long handles, they could be cleaning. Given that "cleaning" is the only word left from the bank, and all other matches are very strong, Picture 4 must be cleaning.

Let's double check if any other picture could be cleaning.
- Pic 1: Phone. No.
- Pic 2: Dancing. No.
- Pic 3: Reading. No.
- Pic 5: Resting. No.
- Pic 6: TV. No.
- Pic 7: Homework. No.
- Pic 8: Music. No.

Therefore, by elimination, Picture 4 is cleaning. Even though the image is small, they are likely holding cleaning tools.

Final Answer:
1. talking on the phone
2. dancing
3. reading
4. cleaning
5. having a rest
6. watching TV
7. doing homework
8. listening to music
