LINKING VS ACTION VERBS A Verb is a word which expresses action or being. A linking verb joins the subject and predicate of a sentence. A linking verb shows a state of being.

Examples: am, is, are, was, were, be, been An action verb tells the action of a sentence.

Examples: run, hop, skip, sleep, jump, talk, snore



Read each sentence and determine if the underlined verb is a linking verb or an action verb. 1. The strong winds blew down the old tree. ______________

2. Aaron is an avid reader. ______________ 3. Jessica's friends were very polite. ______________ 4. The boxes are in the back of my truck. ______________

8.Robert ate the crust of the pizza first. ______________

9.I am one of the tallest kids in school. ______________

10.Betty is afraid of the dark. ______________

PAST TENSE

To form the past tense form of most verbs, you simple add -ed to the

end of the word.

Present tense: I walk to the cafe. Past tense: I walked to the cafe.

Irregular verbs are a bit more difficult because you don't add -ed to make them past tense. The whole word changes depending on its tense.

Present tense: I eat a carrot. Past tense: I ate a carrot.



Choose the past tense verb for each sentence and write it on the line. 1. I ________________ all my homework in study hall. (do, did) 2. She ________________ of a better way to do it. (thought, think) 3. We never ________________ his real name. (know, knew) 4. Anna ________________ her arm when she fell down the stairs. (broke, break) 5. The dog ________________ a hole in the back yard. (dig, dug) 6. Mom ________________ cupcakes for my birthday. (make, made) 7. When the phone ________________ it woke the baby. (rang, ring)

PREDICATES AND SUBJECTS

The subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence is about.

example: The little brown dog wagged his tail. The predicate of a sentence tells what the subject does or is.

example: The little brown dog wagged his tail.



Read each sentence. Draw a line under the subject. Draw two lines under the predicate.

1. The actor danced across the stage.

2. The tiny flowers looked beautiful in the garden.

3. George and his friends played football in the field.

4. The bulldog snored all night long.

5. The tiny brown acorn fell off the tall oak tree.

10. Lynn read a book to her little sister.

11. A gray wolf snuck into the barn last night.

12. The rain was coming down.

SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUNS A singular noun names one person, place, or thing.

example: A lizard crawls on top of the rock. There is only one lizard in the sentence, so the word lizard is a singular noun. Also, there is only one rock in the sentence, so the word rock is a singular noun too.



A plural noun names more than one person, place, or thing.

example: Two rabbits ran through the trees. There is more than one rabbit, so the word rabbits is a plural noun. Also, there is more than one tree, so the word trees is a plural noun too. Underline the noun in each sentence below. On the line next to the sentence, tell whether the noun is singular or plural.

1. The squirrel is running fast. _______________________

2. Three of the plates are round. _______________________

3. My grandmother is very kind. _______________________

9. It flew in the sky. _______________________

10. There are ten fish. _______________________

READING COMPREHENSION

A) PLOT OF THE STORY Read the story “How The Teddy Bear Got Its Name” and answer the questions.

Have you ever had a teddy bear? Most kids have one when they are little. But do you

know how that little stuffed bear got its name? The 26th President of the United States

was Theodore Roosevelt. His friends called him Teddy because it sounded much less

formal than Theodore. When he had some free time, he liked to hunt and to be out in

the woods where all kinds of wildlife lived. One day he went on a bear hunt with some

friends. After three days of hunting, he and his hunting party had not found one single

bear. He was very disappointed because he hadn’t found a bear.

The next day, his hunting guide took his dogs back out into the woods and came across

an old, slow, tired bear. The guide tied him to a tree and went back to tell the President

he had found a bear for him to shoot.

President Roosevelt saw the poor old thing, and refused to shoot him. He said that it

was not sporting to shoot any animal that couldn’t defend itself.

When the story broke in the newspapers, a cartoonist saw it, and immediately drew a

newspaper cartoon showing how the president refused to shoot an injured bear. Two

shopkeepers named Rose and Morris Michtom saw the cartoon. Rose had been making

and selling toy stuffed animals for years, but she had never made stuffed bears before

she saw the cartoon. Rose made two stuffed bears and Morris put them in his store

window. He asked President Roosevelt for permission to call the bears Teddy’s Bears

after the President’s nickname. The President loved the idea, and so did the public.

Everyone in town wanted a Teddy's Bear and the shopkeepers could barely keep up

with the demand.



It wasn’t long before a German woman named Margaret Steiff heard about the bears,

and she began developing different sized bears for her toy-making company. Over the

years, more and more companies began making the bears in all different sizes, shapes,

colors, and styles. Soon Teddy’s Bears became known all over the world as teddy bears, which is how we know them today.

Roosevelt went down in history as a kind and humane person and, to honor his

memory, millions of stuffed animals are still named after him.

1. When President Roosevelt's guide found a bear on a hunting trip, what did he do with it?

a. shot it b. hid it from the president c. tied it to a tree d. named it Teddy

2. Why wouldn't President Roosevelt shoot the bear his guide had found?

__________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________

C) CAUSE AND EFFECT

READ THE PARAGRAPH BELOW. WRITE THE EFFECT OF EACH CAUSE. THE FIRST ONE HAS BEEN DONE FOR YOU.

Camouflage can help reef animals in many ways. The decorator crab attaches tiny seaweed and small animals to its body. As a result, it blends into the background and is protected from predators. The frogfish also has camouflage that helps it blend into the reef. Because of this, other fish cannot see it in the coral. The body of the frogfish has a long, thin spike that acts like a fishing rod with bait. The frogfish wiggles the rod around so that prey will take the bait. Then the frogfish eats the prey.
