Explanation:
We are asked to underline or circle the
verbs in each sentence. A verb is a word that shows an action or a state of being. Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
1. *Alex played soccer all day.*
→ “played” is the action Alex did.
✔ Verb.
2. *Peter and Simon ate so much cake.*
→ “ate” is what Peter and Simon did.
✔ Verb.
3. *They ran around the field twice.*
→ “ran” is the action they did.
✔ Verb.
4. *The baby screamed all night.*
→ “screamed” is the action the baby did.
✔ Verb.
5. *They drove to the park.*
→ “drove” is the action they did.
✔ Verb.
6. *Alice pat her puppy on the head.*
→ Hmm! This sentence has a small mistake. It should be “patted”, not “pat”, because it’s past tense (like the other sentences). But as written, “pat” is used incorrectly — still, the intended verb is “pat” (even if grammatically off). Since the task is to identify the verb, we treat “pat” as the verb here.
✔ Verb = *pat*.
7. *The kittens slept during the day.*
→ “slept” is the action the kittens did.
✔ Verb.
So the verbs are:
1. played
2. ate
3. ran
4. screamed
5. drove
6. pat *(note: should be “patted” for correct grammar)*
7. slept
Final Answer:
1. played
2. ate
3. ran
4. screamed
5. drove
6. pat
7. slept
