Identify Write Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 grammar worksheets for identifying verbs in sentences and writing suitable action words with confidence.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 2 Grammar and Writing worksheets help children recognise verbs as action or doing words in simple sentences. Children practise spotting words that tell what a person, animal, or thing does, such as run, read, jump, draw, eat, and sleep.
The printable activities include circling verbs, underlining action words, matching verbs to pictures, completing sentences, and writing suitable verbs. The practice builds from easy identification to using verbs meaningfully in short written answers.
In this Identify Write set, children move beyond naming things and begin noticing the word that shows action. They learn that a sentence may have a noun such as boy, bird, mother, or ball, and a verb that tells what the noun does. For example, in “The dog barks,” dog is the naming word and barks is the verb.
Skill progression in the worksheets
The practice usually begins with clear picture or sentence clues, where the action word is easy to see. Children may circle jump in “The children jump,” match a picture of a girl singing to the verb sing, or choose the best verb to complete a sentence. Later tasks ask them to write their own verb, which strengthens both grammar and sentence sense.
A simple routine for parents
Read one sentence aloud and ask, “What is happening here?” Let your child act it out if possible. Then ask them to point to the word that names the action and say the sentence again with the verb louder. For writing tasks, keep a small word bank of familiar verbs such as play, wash, cook, fly, clap, and write, then encourage your child to choose the one that fits the meaning.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during grammar lessons, morning work, revision, or small-group support. They also work well after a quick board activity: write three short sentences, ask learners to underline the verbs, and then let them complete the worksheet independently. Finished sheets can be discussed in pairs so children hear why a verb is correct or not.
Common errors to watch for
Many Class 2 learners confuse nouns and verbs, especially when both are familiar words. In “The baby cries,” they may choose baby because it is the main idea. Some children also pick any word near the picture instead of checking the sentence. Remind them that a verb answers “What does someone or something do?” and must make sense in the sentence.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities give repeated, focused practice without making the page crowded. Children identify, choose, and write verbs in different formats, so they do not simply memorise one pattern. A child-friendly strategy is: read the sentence, ask “What is the action?”, touch the verb, and then write it neatly.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 'Identify Write' mean in these Class 2 verb worksheets?
It means children first identify the verb or action word in a sentence, then practise writing a suitable verb to complete or create a simple sentence.
Are these worksheets only about action verbs?
The focus is mainly on common action or doing words that Class 2 children can understand easily, such as eat, run, read, sing, draw, and sleep.
How can I explain a verb to my child at home?
Tell your child that a verb is a word that shows what someone or something does. Ask, 'What is the action?' in sentences like 'The cat sleeps' or 'Riya writes.'
What should I do if my child picks the noun instead of the verb?
Ask your child to act out the sentence. The word they can act out is usually the verb. Then compare the naming word and the action word in the same sentence.
