Directions: Underline the subjects once and verbs twice; label the verb tense (multiple sentences have more than
one subject and verb).
If completing as a PDF, underline the subjects and change the color of the verbs to red. Label the verb tense in
the order they appear in the sentence at the end of each sentence.
