Action verbs show action and create "active sentences". An active sentence usually has a subject + action verb.

Sport experts WRITE about the football player, Thorpe.

Stacey ARGUED with Lillian Jean over who would get the most points in today's game.

Charles and Marcie TACKLED the couch.

Miguel HONORED Thorpe's greatness.

Passive sentences have verbs with a form of "be", which are: is, was, were, has, have, been. Passive sentences often contain the word "by" and the subject is stuck at the end as an object, and they are often much longer than active sentences.

Regarding today's game, Stacey and Lillian Jean were arguing about who would get the most points.
