Let's solve the task step by step.

Task:

We need to identify and underline the verbs in each sentence. Verbs are action words or words that show a state of being (like "is", "are", "was", etc.). In this worksheet, most verbs are action verbs, indicating what someone is doing.

Explanation:

- A verb expresses an action or a state of being.
- In these sentences, all the underlined words are action verbs showing what the subject is doing.
- Some verbs are in present tense (e.g., runs, studies), some in past tense (e.g., did, played, told).
- Even though “to eat” is an infinitive, “eat” is still a verb form.

✔ This exercise helps students recognize verbs in context, especially in compound sentences with multiple actions.
