Frequently asked questions
What form are the verbs in?
The list uses base forms such as jump, describe, and decide. You can add tenses or endings yourself depending on the grammar point you are teaching.
How many verbs can I generate at once?
You can ask for one verb or a full list. A short batch is ideal for warm-ups, while a longer list gives every student a different prompt.
Can I use these verbs for charades?
Yes. Base verbs are easy to act out, and a numbered list makes it simple to assign one verb per player or team.
Are unusual or rare verbs included?
The list favors words that appear in everyday English, and common verbs are ranked first. That keeps prompts usable for students and quick to mime.
