Types of Verbs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to educate students on the three types of verbs: action, helping, and linking. Each sentence provided on the worksheet contains an underlined verb, and students are instructed to identify the type of verb by circling the correct option. This format requires the student to read each sentence and apply their knowledge of verbs to determine the function of the underlined verb within the sentence.

The worksheet teaches students to differentiate between action verbs (which show what the subject is doing), helping verbs (which assist the main verb in a sentence), and linking verbs (which connect the subject to more information). By practicing with these exercises, students improve their understanding of how different verbs are used in sentence structures. This understanding is fundamental for developing grammar skills and enhancing their ability to write clear and coherent sentences. Additionally, this knowledge assists in improving reading comprehension by enabling students to better understand the roles that words play in conveying meaning in a text.
