Kitchen Action Verbs in English

In this short English lesson, you’ll learn essential kitchen action verbs that describe what we do when cooking, cleaning, and eating. These verbs are part of daily life, and mastering them will help you sound more natural in conversation.

Some of the most common kitchen verbs include cooking, eating, wiping, scrubbing, stirring, pouring, opening, closing, rinsing, and drying. For example, you stir soup, pour coffee, wipe the table, and rinse the dishes. Knowing how to use these verbs correctly makes your English more practical and fluent.

Practice by describing what you’re doing in your kitchen. Say each action aloud: “I’m pouring water,” “I’m scrubbing the pan,” or “I’m drying the dishes.” This helps build confidence and reinforces pronunciation.

Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate learner, these action verbs are perfect for expanding your vocabulary and speaking naturally about everyday routines. Watch the video to see each action clearly and repeat after the teacher to practice pronunciation and rhythm.
