Most of our daily life actions depends upon our thoughts, needs, beliefs and motivations.
In English grammar we use action words, also known as action verbs to add actions to our sentences there words define what type of action we are performing.
You might not notice it, but we use there words in every sentence we speak or write. but they cannot define how it is performed, for that we need adjectives.
Adjectives like offensive, defensive, compulsive, destructive are commonly words to describe how or what kind of action it is.
