Exercise #1: Finding Verbs & Subjects 

1. Change the following sentences to the future or past to find the word. 

If you try past, and the word doesn't change, then the sentence may already be in the past, so the verb won't change.  Then try the future.

2. After you change the tense/time, underline the word(s) that change (i.e. the verb).

3. After you find the verb, find the subject (who or what is doing the verb). Bold the verb.

Example:

  (will take)

(Next year)  It took me a long time to recover from my illness.

    (wanted)

(In the past) I never want to see that look on her face again.  Want would change to wanted so want is the verb.
