Activity 9: Verbs- revision
Activity 9a: Read the short passage below carefully. Underline the verbs and
classify them in the appropriate column in the table provided.
Last week Anita, a girl of Grade 5, was alone at home with her younger brother, Ashley. Her
parents had an important meeting and they asked Anita to look after Ashley. Anita told Ashley,
“We are alone. You will have to be a nice boy. If you play quietly, Mum will give us lots of cakes
when she returns.”
Unfortunately, Ashley did not sit quietly. Soon, he started to run all around the living room.
What Anita feared happened. Ashley fell and hurt himself. His knee was bleeding. At rst
Anita panicked as Ashley was crying loudly. Finally she said to herself, “I am going to call our
neighbour, Mrs Rani. Mum has told me to do this if anything happens.”
Mrs Rani came immediately with her First Aid kit. She applied medicine on Ashley’s wound.
When their parents came, Anita told them about the incident. They praised her for her action.
“You have done the right thing,” her mother said.
