About this resource
Description
A verb is a word that tells what someone or something does, like run, jump, or sing. This verb or not a verb worksheet helps 2nd grade students tell action words apart from naming words (nouns) and describing words (adjectives), a key grammar skill that makes their own sentences stronger.
The worksheet has six rows of three words. In every row, one word is a verb, one is a noun, and one is an adjective, so students have to think about what each word does instead of guessing. Students read each row and circle the one word that is a verb. Then they choose two of the verbs they circled and write a complete sentence for each one on the lines below. This 2nd grade verbs worksheet works well as classwork, a morning warm-up, a grammar center, or homework.
What’s Included
- Six rows of three words where students circle the one verb in each row
- A writing section where students use two of their verbs in their own sentences
- An answer key with the verb circled in every row
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Comparing a verb with a noun and an adjective in the same row teaches students what makes a word a verb.
- Writing sentences with the verbs they found moves students from spotting verbs to using them.
- Familiar, everyday words let young readers focus on the grammar skill, not on decoding.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, play a quick game of charades: act out a word and let students guess it, then point out that every word you could act out was a verb. After students finish the verb or not a verb worksheet, have them try to act out each word in a row. The one they can act out is the verb. You can also ask students to underline the verb in each sentence they wrote and trade papers with a partner to check.
