Use action verbs

Key Notes:-

🌟 Use Action Verbs 🌟

  • An action verb tells us what someone or something does.
  • It shows action, not a state.
  • Example: πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ run, ✏️ write, 🍎 eat, 🎨 paint

Ask yourself: β€œWhat is the person/animal/thing doing?”

If it shows movement or activity, it is an action verb.

Examples:

  • The cat 🐱 jumps on the table. βœ…
  • I write a story. βœ…
  • The flower 🌸 smells nice. ❌ (smells is a state, not action)

Action verbs make sentences lively and interesting.

Examples:

  • The dog 🐢 barked loudly.
  • She πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ ran to school.
  • We 🎨 painted a beautiful picture.

Always look for the action in the sentence. πŸ‘€

Use strong verbs to make your writing exciting. ✨

Mix action verbs with adverbs for extra fun!

  • Example: The boy πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ ran quickly. ⚑

Underline the action verbs in this sentence:

  • The children 🎈 jumped, played, and laughed in the park.
