Verbs Class 4 English Assignment

Every sentence has to include a subject (someone or something) and a verb (what that person or thing does or is).

Q1. Circle the subject and underline the verb in each sentence:

3. Bobby forgot his trumpet at home.

4. The children were sad.

5. Mrs. Sharma gave the students a reward.

6. On the way to lunch, the students stopped at the bathrooms.

The main verb in a sentence shows action or a state of being.

Those that show action are called action verbs, and those that show state of being are called linking verbs.

The dog ran back home. In this sentence, ran shows an action.

My pet is a dog. In this sentence, is shows a state of being.

Q2. Tell whether each verb is an action verb (A), or a linking verb (L).

1. talk __________________ 2. am __________________

2. dance __________________ 4. visited __________________

3. worked __________________ 6. were __________________

4. Seema can kick better than anyone on the team.

5. The beautiful sailboat was built in 1985.

6. Sarah is walking her puppy in the park.

7. Jatin and his dad are using the computer.

The words below are all verbs. Some are past tense verbs. They show action that has already happened. Others are present tense verbs. They show action that is currently happening.
