📖 What is a Verb?

A verb is an action word — it tells what someone or something does. Action verbs show movement or activity (run, eat, sing). Verbs can be in present tense (happening now: "I walk") or past tense (already happened: "I walked"). Most past tense verbs add -ed (jump→jumped), but some are irregular (run→ran, eat→ate).

⭕ Circle the Verb

Find and circle the action word in each sentence.

1. The cat sleeps on the bed.
2. Tom runs to school every day.
3. Birds fly in the sky.

🕐⏪ Past or Present?

Circle Present if it's happening now, Past if it already happened.

4. She walks to the park.   Present / Past
5. He played soccer.   Present / Past

⏪ Change to Past Tense

Rewrite each verb in the past tense (add -ed).

6. I jump → I
7. We walk → We

How Parents and Homeschoolers Can Use This Worksheet

Print the worksheet and sit down with your child to work through it together. For younger students, read each question aloud and discuss what it is asking before they write their answer. For older students, let them complete the worksheet independently, then review incorrect answers together — focus on understanding why the mistake happened rather than just marking it wrong. To make the activity more engaging, try setting a timer and turning it into a friendly challenge, or offer a small reward for completing a full page with focus and effort. After finishing, ask your child to explain one concept they learned in their own words — teaching back is one of the most effective ways to solidify understanding.
