4th Grade Action Verbs Worksheets and Printables

Remember, verbs can either show action or link the subject to more information. Action verbs describe what the subject does, while linking verbs connect the subject to a description or state of being (e.g., The car is green). Common linking verbs include is, am, are, was, and were. In this worksheet, students will identify and classify verbs as either action verbs or linking verbs. Worksheet instructions: Circle the verb in each sentence. Then determine whether it’s an action verb or a linking verb.
