Politics and the English Language

I need help with this grammar.

Underline each main verb once and each auxiliary twice. Place parentheses around each verb-adverb combination. In the blank identify each main verbs as action (A) or state-of-being (S).

__ 1. Dark thunderclouds had ominously blotted out the blue of the summer sky.

__ 2. Moving the fields of tall grass like a turbulent sea, the warm winds were blowing over the meadow.

__ 3. The sky grew bright with flashing bolts of lighning

__ 4. Like the sounds of cannon fire, the thunder rumbled across the plains

__ 5. Pouring mercesilessly out of the sky, the rain was cold against our skin.

__ 6. To the left and just over the hill, the trees bent and swayed violently in the wind

__ 7. The pond in the middle of the field apperared to boil from the multitude of raindrops.

__ 8. The farmer looked over the meadow drenched with rain and strewn with hailstones.

__ 9. After the rain had become less severe, the sky became brighter

Thanks!
