Action and Helping Verbs

Want to boost your grammar skills? This activity helps you practice telling the difference between action verbs and helping verbs. By learning this, you’ll make your sentences stronger and more accurate.

As you explore, you’ll see how action verbs show what someone is doing—like run, jump, eat, or sing. Helping verbs, such as is, am, was, and will, work with action verbs to show time or possibility.

Each challenge guides you to read carefully and decide which type of verb is being used. You’ll enjoy spotting the clues and testing your knowledge in different examples.
