Answer 3

The verb is the "action" word, what the subject (noun or thing) is doing. Example: The cat ate the cheese. Ask yourself: Who is doing what? So, the action word (verb) is "ate" The subject is the "thing(noun)" that was doing the action = the cat. Now you can figure out the answers yourself. If we tell you the answers, that would be cheating and you wouldn't understand these questions when your teacher gives you a test. So try and figure them out by yourself. That's the best way. If you still need help, ask a friend or the teacher to help you understand subjects and verbs. Good luck!
