Finding the Verbs
In this lesson, students will find the verbs in the sentences.
This lesson is for third through fifth graders.
First, you will copy the worksheet.
Then, you will explain to the students about verbs. You can do this by writing examples on the board.
Example: Christy is an amateur detective.
In this sentence, "is" is the verb.
Example: "Come here right now," her mother ordered.
In this sentence, come is the verb.
Watch out for verbs because they sometimes don't appear near the beginnning of the sentence.
Example: Because it was going to rain today, they took their umbrellas.
Verb: The verb is took. The subject is they.
