Fascinating Fact:

You can observe the sky to see clouds move. You can observe a bug to see what it does.

In KS1 Vocabulary Age 6, children learn that verbs are doing words. Verbs can show actions we do with our bodies, our minds or our senses.

  • Verb: A word that shows an action, a happening or what someone does.
  • Observe: To look carefully and notice what is happening.
  • Count: To say numbers in order or find out how many there are.
Can looking carefully be a verb?

Yes, looking carefully can be a verb. Words like watch, stare and observe are verbs because they show actions someone does.

How do children use verbs in everyday sentences?

Children use verbs in everyday sentences to show actions and events. In “I count the shells” and “We observe the birds,” count and observe are verbs.

Why are verbs useful in KS1 writing?

Verbs are useful in KS1 writing because they help children explain what is happening. They make sentences more complete, clear and interesting to read.
