A student of mine once asked me:
What’s the difference between “I took a walk in the park.” and “I walked in the park?”
These sentences mean the same thing but I can see the confusion. I wrote this blog post to help anyone else who has the same question.

“I took a walk in the park.” is using WALK as a noun. The verb in the sentence is TOOK, the past tense of the verb TO TAKE. This answers the question “What did you do?” 
“I walked in the park.” is using WALK as a verb in the past tense. This answers the question “Where did you walk?”

Both of these sentences are using the past tense but the sentence grammar and when we use them are different. Keep reading for lots of example sentences plus a video to help improve your listening skills.

TOOK is the past tense of the verb TO TAKE and WALKED is the past tense of the verb TO WALK. The confusion comes from the fact that some words have a noun and a verb form.

When To Use Walked or Took a Walk

Both of these sentences have the same meaning but with a different focus.

  • The sentence “I took a walk in the park.” is focusing on what. (What you did.)
  • The sentence “I walked in the park.” is focusing on where. (Where you walked.) 

It would be fine to answer the first question “What did you do?” with only “I took a walk.” It’s natural to add more information to your answer but it is not necessary.

“I walked in the park.” is not a natural answer to the question “What did you do?”
*The grammar is fine and the meaning is clear but it is not natural in English conversation. As a native speaker, I would never give this answer. 

How we can tell if WALK is a noun or a verb

Noun vs. Verb
WALK noun a journey on foot, usually for pleasure or exercise
“My wife and I always take a walk after dinner if the weather is nice.”
WALK verb to move or go somewhere by putting one foot in front of the other on the ground, but without running
“I walk 6 kilometers to school every day.”

Noun link WALKVerb link WALK

It’s important to identify the difference between nouns and verbs so we can use the correct grammar in our sentences.

How to tell the difference

If we use an article in English (A, An and The are articles) the word that follows will be a noun:
“A banana.” “An orange.” “The watermelon.”
Or a noun phrase
“An old, brown banana.” “A tasty, Naval orange.” “The big, green watermelon.”
(Remember A/An and The refer to only one thing.)

Learn more at my blog post Master English Articles・A, An and The

So if ‘walk’ is used as a noun it will come after an article.
“I took a walk in the park.” – took is the verb in this sentence

BUT a verb comes after the subject of a sentence.
“I walked in the park.” – No article = verb (‘I’ is the subject of this sentence.)

This is true for all words that have a verb and a noun form.

“I want to give you a hug!” – give is the verb in this sentence [In this sentence HUG follows the article A so we know it is a noun.]

“I want to hug you!” – No article = verb [TO HUG is the infinitive form of the verb.]

Did you know that many words with a noun and a verb form are pronounced differently? I wrote a blog post about this with audio and over 70 natural examples. You can see this post here: Noun – Verb pairs with audio

*This also applies to uncountable nouns that have a verb form.

Uncountable nouns don’t use the article a but they can follow the article the. They also follow quantifiers like much or a lot of/lots of. Please look at the following examples with the word SMOKE:

“There is too much SMOKE in this restaurant.” – The quantifier too much is describing the smoke so we know it is a noun.

“I don’t SMOKE anymore.” – ‘Smoke’ follows the sentence subject and doesn’t use an article or a quantifier. Smoke is a verb in this sentence.

You can review English quantifiers at my Much, Many, and A Lot post.
