Is it a noun or a verb?

As new things are invented, so are new words - nouns to name them and verbs to help us express what they can do.

Copy out the sentences below and mark the nouns and verbs with a N or V above them.

  1. Ask Google.  I always Google things I don't understand.
  2. If I get a text from her.  I will text her back.
  3. I want to hoover the lounge but the hoover isn't working.
  4. Now I've got my own blog, I blog every day.
  5. Email him and explain that his email arrived too late.
