A volcano that is thought to be incapable of further eruptions is said to be extinct.
A volcano that is inactive but not extinct is said to be dormant.
Composite Volcanoes
its called dormant when it colud erupt again and extinct when it cant erupt again.
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
ACTIVE! Ones that are sleeping but could erupt again are called DORMaNT! And ones that are never going to erupt again are called EXTINCT!
Volcanoes that no longer erupt are called extinct volcanoes. These volcanoes have not erupted in a long time and are not expected to erupt again in the future. They are considered to be dormant and have lost their ability to produce magma and release volcanic material.
As it is regarded as an extinct volcano, it is unlikely that it will erupt again.

It depends, a volcano can erupt once and never erupt again. Or, a volcano can erupt multiple times a day.
Inactive, dormant, wishful thinking.

If it 'unlikely' to erupt again but it could, it's dormant.
A dormant volcano is one that is just sleeping and it is possible to erupt again. An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
active : a volcano which is expected to erupt again or will erupt again eg.mt etna dormant : a volcano which has erupted in the last 2000 years but not recently eg Mt Baker extinct : a volcano which will not erupt again eg killimanjaro
