1. Identify the Noun:
* What is the sentence about? The noun is the "who" or "what" of the sentence.
* Example: "The *dog* barked." (*dog* is the noun)
2. Determine the Action or State of Being:
* What does the noun do or experience? This is the verb.
* Example: "The *dog* *barked*." (*barked* is the verb, describing the dog's action)
3. Consider the Tense:
* Verbs change depending on the time of the action.
* Example: "The *dog* *barks* every morning." (*barks* is the present tense)
4. Choose the Correct Form:
* Singular vs. Plural: The verb form changes depending on whether the noun is singular or plural.
* Example: "The *dogs* *bark*." (*dogs* is plural, so the verb is also plural)
Example Sentences:
* Noun: *Students*
* Verb: *learn*, *study*, *discuss*, *read*
* Sentences: "The *students* *learn* about history." "The *students* *are studying* for a test."
Additional Tips:
* Think about the noun's properties: Is it a person, place, or thing? What can it do?
* Use a dictionary: If you're unsure of a verb, look it up!
* Practice! The more you practice identifying verbs, the easier it becomes.
