Verb Matching Activity Answer Key

This worksheet requires students to match verbs on the left with appropriate complements on the right. Learners must determine which phrases fit grammatically and semantically with verbs that take gerunds, infinitives, or either form. Students improve their ability to classify verb patterns through context clues and careful reading. Matching encourages close attention to meaning while reinforcing syntactic structures. This activity strengthens recall of common verb-complement patterns and prepares students for productive tasks such as writing sentences. It is especially useful for solidifying memorization of verbs that always require gerunds or always require infinitives.
