What are Action Verbs?

Action verbs are words that show what someone or something does. They express physical or mental actions. For example, in the sentence "She runs fast," the word "runs" is an action verb. In Hindi, action verbs are called क्रिया (Kriya).


Usage in Written and Spoken English

Action verbs are important in both written and spoken English. They make sentences clear and lively. For example, instead of saying "She is a good student," you can say "She studies hard." This makes the sentence more interesting. In Hindi, "She studies hard" translates to वह मेहनत से पढ़ाई करती है (Vah mehnat se padhai karti hai).


Examples

1. "He plays football."

वह फुटबॉल खेलता है (Vah football khelta hai).

2. "They are cooking dinner."

वे रात का खाना बना रहे हैं (Ve raat ka khana bana rahe hain).


Key Mistakes

A common mistake is using the wrong verb form. For example, saying "He run fast" instead of "He runs fast." Another mistake is using too many action verbs in one sentence, which can make it confusing. Always remember to keep it simple and clear!
