Verb Classification

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a grammar identification exercise that focuses on verbs, with a specific emphasis on distinguishing between action and linking verbs. Students are presented with sentences and are tasked with deciding whether each sentence contains an action verb, which depicts an action being performed, or a linking verb, which connects the subject to more information about the subject. They are required to write their answers on the provided lines next to each sentence. The worksheet includes a variety of verbs and contexts to help students practice this differentiation.

The goal of the worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding of the different roles that verbs can play in a sentence. It teaches them to identify action verbs, which show what action is being done by the subject, and linking verbs, which link the subject to a state of being or characteristic. This distinction is crucial for grammar mastery and aids in the development of students’ writing skills. By completing the exercise, students reinforce their knowledge of verb functions and improve their ability to analyze sentence structures.
