Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the verb — that’s the action word in the sentence.
1. “The cat ran after the dog.”
→ What did the cat do? It
ran. So, “ran” is the verb.
2. “Five little monkeys climbed the tree.”
→ What did the monkeys do? They
climbed. So, “climbed” is the verb.
3. “An old man jumped off his boat.”
→ What did the man do? He
jumped. So, “jumped” is the verb.
4. “She read her book for five hours.”
→ What did she do? She
read. So, “read” is the verb. (Even though it sounds like “red,” it’s still the past tense of “read.”)
5. “His dog ran around the park.”
→ What did the dog do? It
ran. So, “ran” is the verb.
6. “Mary jumped over the small pond.”
→ What did Mary do? She
jumped. So, “jumped” is the verb.
7. “Jimmy shouted at his pets.”
→ What did Jimmy do? He
shouted. So, “shouted” is the verb.
Now let’s list all the verbs we found:
- Sentence 1: ran
- Sentence 2: climbed
- Sentence 3: jumped
- Sentence 4: read
- Sentence 5: ran
