Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Action"

A: When you are doing something your are know for doing or good at doing an example would be:

My son is really got at soccer. You can see him in action at his game on Saturday.

A: You want to see it happen.

In action= happening

A: To be stopped, to be discontinued

A: ~-driven = ～感情に駆られる

A: Usually, the speaker is trying to get you to go away. It means that they'll do the action when they are able. See also "I'll do [action] asap."

A: "I take action to ensure that I don't get sick from covid-19. I wear a mask and wash my hands after touching anything someone else might have touched."

A: Yes, although "making the bed" is the broad action of straightening the quilt on the bed, sorting the pillows, tidying the bed in general.
Whereas "folding the quilt" is used when referring to only folding (in half) in order to for example neatly store it in a wardrobe or drawer. It is not used to intent "make the bed" as an action we do every morning.

"I woke up this morning, made the bed, had breakfast and went to work" - this is natural.

"I woke up, folded the quilt, had breakfast and went to work" this is unnatural as one would understand that you folded the quilt and put it away somewhere.

Example sentences with "Folding the quilt"

- "The weather is getting warmer, so I folded the quilt, stored it in the drawer and pulled out a lighter blanket."

"Please show me how to correctly fold a quilt for it to take up as little space as possible."

A: From helping friends in Japan with their English, I know that articles (“a”, “an”, and “the”) are really difficult to understand, so I will try to explain to the best of my ability:

If you took 「a」legal action, you would be taking a *singular* action against a person, company, or otherwise. Overall, it sounds pretty vague, so I probably would not use it.

You probably would want to say “take legal action” here, since it sounds stronger in conversation and can mean *multiple* actions that all achieve a similar purpose.

Please let me know if I need to clarify anything I have said. Otherwise, good luck with your studies!

A: Action is more abstract than act. Act is something specific that is/being/to be done so acts are specific. Action is usually related to effect, will, engagement, or manner so actions are more abstract. Therefore, sometimes act is more about oneself while action could relate to others. We could also say actions speak louder than words but never acts speak louder than words. Also, action could be as an uncountable noun but acts never.
An action could be made up of acts. Actions are usually more complex, lasting. We can say the action of a machine but we can never say an act of a machine. This is because the action of a machine is usually not simple.

There are surely many cases we can use either act or action.

Yeah, technically, the word "finning" is in the dicitionary, but nobody uses it. Almost never. I didn't even know it was a word except I just made it up in my mind and was curious if it was in the dictionary or not, so I searched for it.

I think if you use it in a sentence, most people will understand what you mean from the context though.

Example sentences:

"Action" isn't incorrect, but it is less common and sounds a bit awkward. I'd change it to "thing."
