Circle and Classify Verbs

Students read each sentence carefully, identify the verb, and then decide whether it is an action or linking verb. They circle the verb and mark it with the correct letter (A or L). This classification task promotes active reading and grammatical reasoning. By analyzing verbs in full sentence contexts, students deepen their understanding of how verbs convey meaning and function syntactically. This activity supports comprehension and reinforces correct language use.
