Top 100 Action Words
Here is a list of 100 action words I have compiled over the past few years, which I have used for numerous writing assignments. This is by no means a definitive list, so please feel free to add your own, and perhaps we can build an Action Word MEGA-LIST!
To quote Uncle Ben from Spiderman, “Remember, with great power. comes great responsibility,” so use these action words wisely.
You can also download a PDF version to keep by your computer for those times when you just can’t think of “that” word.
