ACTION VERBS

Action verbs, also called dynamic verbs, express an action whether it be physical or mental. An action
verb explains what the subject of the sentence is doing or has done.

The following are examples of how action verbs are used in sentences, keep in mind that you can use
more than one action verb in a sentence. The action verb is in bold in each sentence. Remember that
action verbs don't have to describe movement; the action can be mental.
• Anthony is throwing the football.

• She accepted the job offer.

• He thought about his stupid mistake in the test.

• John visited his friend for a while and then went home.
