Name & Action: Nouns and Verbs in Use for Class 2 

This Class 2 worksheet helps children understand the two most important building blocks of sentences — nouns (naming words) and verbs (action words). Using familiar objects, people, places, and simple actions, the worksheet guides learners to identify nouns and verbs, understand how they function, and use them correctly in sentences. 

Through activities such as underlining, sorting, multiple-choice questions, sentence rewriting, and a short passage task, students get hands-on practice recognising and using nouns and verbs in everyday communication. These exercises not only improve grammar skills but also support clearer sentence construction and early writing fluency. 

Why Nouns & Verbs Matter in Grammar?

Nouns and verbs are the core of every sentence. For Class 2 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. Nouns help children name people, places, animals, and things. 
2. Verbs show actions, helping children describe what is happening. 
3. Understanding both helps form complete and meaningful sentences. 
4. It supports early reading, writing, and comprehension.
