About this resource
This quiz focuses on the fundamental grammar concept of distinguishing between action verbs and linking verbs, which is core curriculum content for 7th grade English Language Arts. Students must demonstrate their understanding that action verbs express physical or mental activities (like "chased," "made," and "locked"), while linking verbs connect the subject to additional information about that subject, such as a description or state of being. The questions require students to identify verbs within sentences, classify them correctly as either action or linking, and select specific linking verbs from multiple word choices. To succeed on this assessment, students need to recognize common linking verbs like "is," "was," "were," "appears," "look," and forms of "to be," while understanding that these verbs don't show action but rather link the subject to a predicate noun or adjective that describes or renames it. Created by Koryn Musto, an English teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool that can be deployed during various instructional phases - as a warm-up to activate prior knowledge, as guided practice during direct instruction, or as a quick check for understanding after teaching the concept. Teachers can use this quiz for homework assignments to reinforce classroom learning or as a review activity before summative assessments on parts of speech and sentence structure. The mix of identification and classification questions provides comprehensive coverage of the learning objectives while the true/false questions assess conceptual understanding of verb definitions. This assessment aligns with Common Core State Standards L.7.1, which requires students to demonstrate command of standard English grammar and usage, specifically in understanding and using different types of verbs correctly in speaking and writing.
