What functions do acts or scenes have in plays?

Usually acts are parts of the play that are between intermissions. A one act play does not have an intermission. A two act play has one intermission. A three act play has two intermissions and so on. This was necessary in earlier days to change the scenery on stage while the curtains were closed. An act can have as many scenes as the playwright wants.Acts can be thought of as chapters and scenes as sections (paragraphs) of that chapter.


What does His acts being seven ages mean?

Shakespeare, in this speech, has Jaques set up an extended metaphor. "All the world's a stage", he says, and what he means is that people's lives are like actors on the stage; they are "merely players" and play "many parts". Now, just after saying that a man plays many parts he says "his acts being seven ages". Acts are parts of a play, and ages can be viewed as parts of a lifetime. In each of these parts of his lifetime, Jaques says, the man plays a different part. And then he goes on to describe each one of them.
