Step-by-step solution for: Indentifying verbs worksheet | Worsheets library
Let’s go step by step to fill in each sentence with the correct verb from the word bank:
Word bank:
sitting, chases, pick, eat, mixes, came, walk, told, looks, reads
---
1) The cat ________ the mouse.
→ Cats chase mice. So: chases
2) The painter ________ the colors.
→ Painters mix colors. So: mixes
3) The children ________ to the park.
→ Children often walk to places like parks. “Walk” fits. So: walk
4) The slide ________ slippery.
→ We say something “looks” slippery if it appears that way. So: looks
5) The teacher ________ the class a story.
→ Teachers tell stories. So: told
6) Mom ________ the kids to ________ up their toys.
→ First blank: Mom tells or asks kids → but “told” is already used? Wait — let’s check word bank again.
Actually, “pick” is there — “pick up” is a phrase meaning to collect.
So: Mom told the kids to pick up their toys.
But wait — we already used “told” in #5? Let’s hold on — maybe we can reuse? No, usually these worksheets use each word once. Let’s list all words and assign carefully.
Wait — let’s reassign logically without repeating unless allowed. But the instruction says “choose from these verbs” — doesn’t say “use each only once”. But typically in such worksheets, you use each once. Let’s assume one-to-one matching.
List of 8 sentences, 10 words — so two extra words. That means not all will be used.
Let’s try again with unique assignments where possible.
Sentence 1: The cat ___ the mouse → chases (only logical choice)
Sentence 2: The painter ___ the colors → mixes (only logical)
Sentence 3: The children ___ to the park → walk (makes sense; “came” could also work, but “walk” is more active for going to park)
Sentence 4: The slide ___ slippery → looks (common expression)
Sentence 5: The teacher ___ the class a story → told (standard)
Sentence 6: Mom ___ the kids to ___ up their toys →
First blank: needs a verb like “told”, “asked” — but “told” is taken. What else? “Pick” is for second blank.
Wait — perhaps “Mom told” is okay even if used before? But let’s see if another word fits first blank.
Looking at word bank: sitting, chases, pick, eat, mixes, came, walk, told, looks, reads
“Came” doesn’t fit first blank. “Reads”? No. “Eat”? No. “Sitting”? No.
Perhaps “Mom told” is acceptable even if repeated? But let’s check sentence 7 and 8.
Sentence 7: My friend ___ to my house after school → came (perfect fit)
Sentence 8: Cathy and Emily ___ apple pie while ___ at the table →
First blank: they are eating → eat
Second blank: while sitting → sitting
Now back to sentence 6: Mom ___ the kids to ___ up their toys.
We have left: pick, and maybe told? But told was used in #5.
Wait — what if we swap?
What if sentence 5 uses “reads”? “The teacher reads the class a story” — that also works!
Then sentence 6 can use “told”: Mom told the kids to pick up their toys.
That avoids repetition.
Let’s test that:
Revised plan:
1) chases
2) mixes
3) walk
4) looks
5) reads (teacher reads a story — yes, common)
6) told ... pick
7) came
8) eat ... sitting
Check word usage:
Used: chases, mixes, walk, looks, reads, told, pick, came, eat, sitting → that’s 10 words, but we have 8 sentences with 9 blanks? Wait no:
Sentence 6 has two blanks → total blanks = 9? Let’s count:
1) 1 blank
2) 1
3) 1
4) 1
5) 1
6) 2 blanks
7) 1
8) 2 blanks
Total: 1+1+1+1+1+2+1+2 = 10 blanks. And 10 words in bank. Perfect — one per blank.
So assign uniquely.
Final assignment:
1) chases
2) mixes
3) walk
4) looks
5) reads
6) told, pick
7) came
8) eat, sitting
All words used exactly once.

1) The cat chases the mouse. ✔
2) The painter mixes the colors. ✔
3) The children walk to the park. ✔
4) The slide looks slippery. ✔

7) My friend came to my house after school. ✔
8) Cathy and Emily eat apple pie while sitting at the table. ✔
Perfect.
