Nouns that are also verbs

Introduce the skill with a brief whole-class activity, such as calling out examples and asking students to give a thumbs up when they hear nouns that are also verbs in a sentence. Then let students work through the worksheet independently or in pairs, referring to a class anchor chart if one is available. When reviewing answers, ask students to explain why an answer is correct rather than just confirming it. These nouns that are also verbs worksheets work well as a focused practice activity, a homework assignment, or a warm-up at the start of a language arts lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade parts of speech, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation.

In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Some English words like 'run,' 'call,' or 'plant' can function as different parts of speech depending on their role in the sentence - 'I planted a plant' shows the same word used as verb and noun.

Understanding that words can shift between parts of speech helps students read more carefully, using context to determine meaning rather than assuming a word always means the same thing.

Activities include writing two sentences using the same word as a noun and a verb, identifying the part of speech of an underlined word in context, and sorting word pairs into noun vs. verb categories.
