Some of the most common words are: go, come, return, enter, leave, depart, etc. Others are more specific: take off, land (for a plane), drive, run, etc.
Read the sentences below and see how they can be simplified by using a single verb in English:
crawl
It was just a baby and couldn't yet walk
skip
The schoolgirl held the rope at both ends, and swung it repeatedly over her head and under her feet
tip-toe
She wanted to get out of the bedroom without waking her husband
chug
It was an old tractor struggling up a hill
stroll
He was crossing the park slowly in a relaxed mood
march
The soldiers were on the parade ground in front of spectators
storm
He went furiously out of the room
sprint
She was training for the 100 meters race
leap
James Bond was able to reach the other side of the wide abyss
slither
The snake moved quickly through the grass
Could you transform these sentences substituting part of them with the verb of movement?
See below for the words in boldface. These are the words that could be substituted by the verb of movement. Some adjustments need to be made, like adding a preposition or even changing the sentence completely.
