Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the action word in each sentence.
The dog digs a hole.
Kim kicks the ball.
The fish swims in the pond.
The baby claps her hands.
Birds sing in the tree.
We hop on one foot.
The rabbit hops over a log.
Dad cooks soup.
An action word, or verb, tells what someone or something does: hops, sings, spins, blows. Every sentence has one, and finding it is the first step to knowing whether a group of words is a whole sentence. On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a short sentence, and your child circles the action word from a row of words taken from the sentence.
Support sheets use simple actions such as jumps and cooks, standard sheets add longer sentences, and challenge sheets use less common actions such as glides and scatters. Ask your child to act each word out. If you can act it out, it is probably an action word.
Common Core standard: L.1.1.E
