If you compare action vs. non-action words in a sentence you can easily see the difference. Following are explanations of these types of verb, reasons to use one or the other, and lots of examples.
Verbs to Express Action
Action words, or action verbs, simply express an action. The action is something the subject of the sentence or clause is doing and includes sleeping, sitting, and napping-so even though there is no movement, there is still an action. Other examples are:
Crawl
Decorate
Jump
Haunt
Kick
Entertain
Walk
Follow
Growl
Yell
Listen
Eat
Verbs to Express Being
Non-action words, or non-action verbs, do not refer to an action as such, but represent a state of being, need, opinion, sense, or preference. Examples are the "be" verbs, like: am, are, was, were, is, has been, and had. Referring to the senses, some non-action words are: look, smell, feel, taste, and sound. More examples of non action words are:
prefer
like
love
want
need
appear
seem
possess
belong
believe
consider
own
