About This Product

This action sentence diagramming tutorial is the only tool you'll ever need to teach students how to identify parts of speech in sentences with action verbs. Even though it is only two-pages in length, this guide was the primary tool of weeks of grammar study in my 7th grade English courses. It turns sentence diagramming into a fun game of sentence exploration, teamwork, and participation.

To use this chart couldn't possibly be simpler. Simply hand it out - or better yet, laminate and provide dry-erase markers - and provide students with a sentence that employs an action verb. Students can then go through the 4 simple steps and break down the provided sentence to unveil all of the important parts of speech found in the sentence. The activity starts by identifying the action verb in the provided sentence. From there, students simply have to answer simple and easy questions about the verb. Each question's obvious answer reveals another part of speech included in the sentence. Students that become familiar with this guide will never forget how to diagram a sentence with action verbs!

By taking students through the 4 steps simply and clearly spelled out in this chart, they will learn how to quickly identify the following parts of speech:

  • - Action verbs (the key necessity for this worksheet to, well, work!)

  • - Subjects (whether pronoun or proper noun, they'll be able to find it!)

  • - Direct Objects (no problem for this worksheet, even if there isn't a direct object!)

  • - Indirect Objects (ditto!)

Although this resource can be fitted for any secondary Language Arts classroom, it has been carefully designed to work best in grades 6, 7, and 8. The activity is subtly but specifically tied to Common Core ELA Standards for Language (1). This resource is provided as a print-ready, bookmarked, and adjustable PDF file.

This resource contains 2 pages.
