Tech Action Verbs

Technology is part of everyday life, so learning tech action verbs helps you communicate clearly in modern English. These verbs describe simple actions we use with phones, laptops, tablets, and other devices. Understanding them will make conversations, instructions, and daily tasks much easier.

Typing and clicking are basic computer actions. You type when you press keys on a keyboard, and you click when you press a mouse or trackpad. On a phone, you often scroll and swipe. Scrolling means moving up or down a page, while swiping means dragging your finger across the screen to switch pages or close apps.

Many tech actions involve devices and cables. Plugging in means connecting a power cord, and unplugging means removing it. These verbs are useful when talking about charging or setting up electronics.

Turning on and turning off describe powering devices. You turn on your phone in the morning and turn it off before a meeting or flight.

Finally, taking a photo and recording are everyday actions used for capturing moments. Taking a photo is for still images, while recording is for video or audio.

Mastering these verbs helps you speak naturally and confidently in digital-age English.
