Do you remember the three things we learned about a sentence?
• A sentence is a group of words that tell a whole idea.
• A sentence starts with a capital letter.
• A sentence ends with punctuation (like a period or question mark).
We also learned about the naming part of a sentence.
The naming part of a sentence tells us…
Who?What?
The action part of a sentence is made of the words that tell
what a person or thing does.
Sam naps on Mom’s lap.
What does Sam do?“Naps on Mom’s lap” is the action part of the sentence.
The pigs sit in mud.
What do the pigs do?“Sit in mud” is the action part of
the sentence.
Ox packs the sack.
What does Ox do?Packs the sack is the action
part.
Let’s make some sentences.The things that Ox does will be the
action part of the sentence.

Let’s practice figuring out if the words in the circle tell the
naming part or the action part.
