Description
A verb is the word that makes a sentence move, and this verb completing sentences worksheet gives second graders practice finding that word and then using it. Students read six short sentences, decide which word names the action, and write it on the line. Once they can spot a verb inside a real sentence, they are ready to choose one of their own, which is where the second half of the page goes.
This 2nd grade verbs worksheet has two parts. In Part A, each sentence holds exactly one action word, so there is one right answer and nothing to guess at. In Part B, three sentences are missing their verb, and students write a word that makes sense in the blank. Those answers will vary, so the answer key shows one sample for each line along with the six verbs from Part A. Everything prints on two pages, worksheet first and key last.
What’s Included
- A printable two page PDF worksheet with a full answer key
- Six sentences for finding and writing the action verb
- Three fill in the blank sentences that students finish with a verb of their own
- Simple directions and writing lines sized for second grade handwriting
- A friendly illustration that shows a sentence from the page in action
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Writing the verb out, instead of circling it, means the student has to read the whole sentence rather than scan it for a word that looks different.
- Choosing a verb for an open blank is real writing practice, and it shows a teacher right away how big a student’s action word vocabulary is.
- Strong verbs are what make second grade writing interesting, so noticing them here pays off in every story and report later.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before students write anything, read a sentence out loud and ask what is happening in it. The answer is almost always the verb, and hearing it first makes finding it easy. Use this verb completing sentences worksheet as a warm up before a writing block, as a quick check after a grammar lesson, or as homework a family can finish in a few minutes. For an extra round, cover Part B and ask students to think of three different verbs that would each work in the same blank, then talk about which one paints the clearest picture.
