Grade 1 Verbs Worksheet - Identify action words from a list of words and images.

Absolutely! Let’s solve this step by step.

---

🎯 Task:

Identify which words in the list are verbs. Circle the verbs.

> 💡 *Hint from the worksheet:*
> “Verbs are action words, they mean ‘doing’ something.”

So we’re looking for words that describe actions — things people or animals *do*.

✔ Let’s go word by word:

#### Row 1:
- bicycle → noun (a thing you ride) ✘
- read → ✔ YES! You *read* a book — it’s an action.
- book → noun (a thing you read) ✘

#### Row 2:
- tell → ✔ YES! You *tell* a story — action.
- story → noun ✘
- looks → ✔ YES! “She *looks* at the cat” — action.
- funny cat → “funny” is adjective, “cat” is noun ✘

#### Row 3:
- fun → noun or adjective (not an action) ✘
- plays with child → “plays” is verb ✔! “Child” is noun. So only plays is the verb.
*(Note: “with” is a preposition — not a verb)*

#### Row 4:
- dog → noun ✘
- runs around → “runs” is verb ✔! “around” is preposition.
- the → article ✘
- take → ✔ YES! You *take* something — action.

#### Row 5:
- glass → noun ✘
- drinks → ✔ YES! “He *drinks* water” — action.
- eat → ✔ YES! You *eat* food — action.
- *(image of girl eating — reinforces “eat” as action)*

#### Row 6:
- food → noun ✘
- pie → noun ✘
- pasta → noun ✘
- cuts → ✔ YES! “She *cuts* the pasta” — action.
- boys → noun (plural of boy) ✘

💡 Tip for Learning:
Whenever you see a word and ask yourself, “Can I do this?” — if yes, it’s likely a verb!
Examples: Can I *read*? → Yes → verb.
Can I *bicycle*? → Not really — you *ride* a bicycle → so “bicycle” is a noun.
