Macbeth has three "weird sisters". In the Folio copy, there are not only the three witches but a fourth, called Hecat, who is their boss.

Which acts do the witches appear in-macbeth?
Actually, the 3 witches do not commit any acts of violence, in Macbeth. The Witches tell Macbeth of 3 prophesies, which make an enormous impact on him. The Witches represent darkness, chaos, turmoil, temptation and conflict. They manipulate Macbeth, to the point of not being able to recognize evil and good, and they not only venture to seek trouble and havoc for Macbeth but for all mortals. They never tell Macbeth to kill King Duncan but they use a subtle form of manipulation by tempting Macbeth with visions and prophecies that he is destined to be King. By manipulating him in this manner, the Witches are indirectly responsible for leading him to his own doom. The trouble they seek and set out to cause, is not their primary activity but they relish in their quest for trouble, and delight in helping mortals meet their doom.

The witches don't make Macbeth perform any dark acts, such as killing King Duncan; they just put the idea in his head. The witches tell Macbeth he is the Thane of Cawdor (which he doesn't know yet) and also tell him that he will be king. Once Macbeth finds out he is in fact the Thane of Cawdor, he begins to believe the witches' prophecies. Lady Macbeth convinces him that the only way Macbeth can be king is by killing King Duncan, and he does so.

I would say yes for these few reasons:1. Even if he didn't hear the predictions of him becoming the King of Scotland, he would have done something still to become the king and to kick the current king out.2. Notice Lady Macbeth, Macbeth's wife, helped Macbeth to do the "deed."3. Macbeth isn't the next heir to the throne so that would motivate him to do something about the current king.
