Identify action verbs

๐ŸŒŸ Identify Action Verbs ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ‘‰ An action verb is a word that shows what someone or something does.

  • ๐Ÿ‘‰ It tells about an action, movement, or activity.

  • She runs ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
  • He jumps ๐Ÿคธ
  • The dog barks ๐Ÿถ
  • Birds fly ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
  • We eat ๐ŸŽ
  • They play ๐ŸŽฎ

1๏ธโƒฃ Look for the word that shows movement or action.

2๏ธโƒฃ Ask yourself: โ€œWhat is the subject doing?โ€

  • Example: The boy kicks the ball. โšฝ
  • Action verb = kicks

โœจ Action verbs can show actions you can see:

  • clap ๐Ÿ‘, sing ๐ŸŽค, swim ๐ŸŠ, dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ
    โœจ They can also show actions you cannot see:
  • think ๐Ÿ’ญ, dream ๐Ÿ˜ด, love โค๏ธ, hope ๐ŸŒŸ

  • ๐Ÿ‘‰ Every sentence needs a verb.
  • ๐Ÿ‘‰ If the verb shows an action, itโ€™s an action verb! ๐Ÿš€
