What are Verbs and Nouns?
Verbs
A verb is a word that is
used to describe an
action, such as to fly or
to run. It can also be
used to indicate a state
of existence, such as to
live. A verb is a major
part of a sentence.
Nouns
A noun is a word that is
used to describe a
person, place, thing or
idea. A noun is also one
of the major parts of a
sentence.
Directions: In the given sentences below that can be found on
your worksheet, circle all the verbs you can find, and then
underline all of the nouns.
1. The teacher told us to sit at our desks.
2. My sister likes to play outside.
3. I went to the library today.
4. Does anyone know what Jenny likes to eat?
