π Understanding Verbs: Action Words!
Hello young learners! Today, we're going on an exciting adventure to find verbs in sentences. Think of verbs as the "doing" words or "action" words. They tell us what someone or something is doing! For example, when you "run," "jump," or "sing," you are doing actions. Even words like "is," "are," and "was" can be verbs because they tell us about being or existing. Finding verbs helps us understand what's happening in a story!
Let's practice finding these important action words together. It's like being a detective for words! π΅οΈββοΈ
