Noun & Verb Review is a free printable English worksheet for Grades 1–2 that combines foundational grammar practice with sentence-level identification. Across 20 questions—18 multiple choice and 2 multiple select—students distinguish nouns from verbs, identify verbs in sentences, choose nouns that name people, places, or things, and recognize proper nouns. The worksheet also asks students to identify past, present, and future tense and select a verb that correctly completes a sentence.
This review worksheet helps students connect grammar terms to meaningful examples rather than memorizing definitions alone. Students apply their understanding to short sentences such as identifying the action word, locating nouns, selecting a place noun, and recognizing named people, organizations, or products as proper nouns. It is suitable for independent practice, classroom review, or a quick formative assessment, and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

FAQs
What does the Noun & Verb Review worksheet cover?
This Grade 1–2 worksheet uses 18 multiple-choice and 2 multiple-select questions to practise identifying nouns and verbs in definitions, word choices, and complete sentences. Students also classify sentences as past, present, or future tense, choose verbs that fit sentence meaning, identify place nouns, and select proper nouns.
How can I use this worksheet to teach nouns, verbs, and verb tense?
Introduce nouns and verbs with a few oral sentences, asking students to name the person, place, or thing and then act out or identify the action. Use the worksheet’s definition and word-selection items first, then have students explain their choices in the sentence-identification and tense questions. For the proper-noun multiple-select item, ask students why names such as Patterson International, Lego, and Burger King require capital letters.
What mistakes should I watch for on this noun and verb worksheet?
Students may choose a noun because it is a prominent word in a sentence instead of identifying the action word, such as selecting a person or object rather than the verb. They may also confuse a sentence’s time clue—such as “yesterday” or “tomorrow”—and select the wrong tense. In the multiple-select proper-noun item, watch for students who select common nouns such as “school” or “pizza” instead of named entities.
How do I assign and grade the Noun & Verb Review worksheet?
You can use this worksheet as a printable PDF or assign it as a digital quiz on Wayground.
