How this tool helps

Draw English verbs to start a sentence, plan a writing warm-up or prepare a grammar exercise. Filters combine before sampling, and each batch has up to 12 distinct entries. Syllable counts are estimates; the tool does not conjugate verbs or provide definitions.

English verb list loaded only when needed

First-letter, last-letter and length constraints

Distinct batches with single-word and full-list copy

What is a random verb generator?

A random verb generator picks action or state words from a local verb list and shows them as copyable cards. RandomHub uses a language specific verb list instead of presenting one English pool across every page. English uses Kaikki Wiktionary and wordfreq data; French uses Lexique 3.83 infinitives and syllable data under CC BY-SA 4.0; German and Russian use Kaikki with Leipzig frequency lists; Japanese uses JMdict dictionary form verbs; Traditional Chinese uses 萌典 plus jieba and OpenCC checks; Korean uses 한국어기초사전 text data under CC BY-SA 2.0 KR; Spanish and Portuguese use Kaikki plus wordfreq. Starts With reads the beginning unit used by that language, Ends With checks the visible ending, and size filters use syllables, mora, characters, or written length depending on the page. One generation does not repeat a verb inside the same batch. The page does not conjugate, define, or correct verbs, and it does not guarantee that every result fits every child, classroom, or public project.

Who is the verb generator for?

Acting game hosts

Needs quick action prompts for charades, mime, or warm-up games and wants a copied batch ready before the next player starts.

Language teachers

Builds verb practice sets by initial, ending, unit count, or length for conjugation, tense, and sentence drills.

Writing coaches

Uses a few verbs as prompts for stronger sentences, scene movement, or revision exercises that replace flat actions.

Language learners

Practices short verb lists by first sound, ending, or length while turning each result into a simple sentence.

Worksheet makers

Copies a no-repeat verb batch into grammar worksheets, cloze activities, or sentence building exercises.

Bilingual game players

Switches language pages to run the same activity with verbs that fit the current group instead of forcing English prompts.

Why use this verb generator?

01

Language-specific verbs

Each language page works with local verb forms, so French, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese pages do not use an English fallback list.

02

Visible source trail

The verb lists name Kaikki, Lexique, Leipzig, JMdict, 萌典, jieba, OpenCC, 한국어기초사전, and wordfreq where those sources are used.

03

Filters that match each language

Starts With uses the page’s initial unit, Ends With checks the displayed word, and size filters use the unit label shown in the interface.

04

No repeats per batch

Generate several cards at once and the same batch will not show the same verb twice.

How people use the verb generator

Charades action prompts

Select a short unit limit, draw six verbs, and copy the batch into the host notes. The same action will not repeat in that batch.

Count 6, syllables < 3, no ending filter: use the verbs for one mime round, then redraw for the next team.

Conjugation drills

Draw verbs and ask learners to transform each one into the tense or sentence pattern being taught. The tool supplies prompts, not corrections.

French count 8, letters > 5: paste eight infinitives into a worksheet and ask for present and past forms.

Native initial practice

Use the starting unit for the active language rather than English letters everywhere. Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean use local first sound fields.

Korean Starts With ㄱ, 음절 < 4, count 8: eight verbs for a short pronunciation and sentence drill.

Writing warm-up

Draw three verbs and write one sentence per verb for the same character. The constraint makes a blank page easier to start.

Count 3, no filters: copy three verbs and write a small scene where the same person performs all three actions.

How to use the verb generator

  1. 1.

    Set quantity

    Choose one to twelve verbs. If filters leave fewer eligible entries than requested, the result uses only the available filtered entries.

  2. 2.

    Add initial or ending filters

    Use Starts With for the starting unit shown on the page and Ends With for the visible final character or letter.

  3. 3.

    Constrain size

    Choose syllables, mora, or characters depending on the language label, then combine it with =, >, or < and a number.

  4. 4.

    Generate and copy

    Press Generate Verbs or Enter. Copy one card, or copy the full result list when more than one verb appears.

Verb generator FAQ

How many verbs are available?

The visible count can change as language lists improve, so the page avoids a fixed headline number. Your filters apply to the current verb list for the active language.

Which data sources are used?

Sources vary by language and are linked below. They include Kaikki Wiktionary, wordfreq, Lexique 3.83, Leipzig Corpora, JMdict and national dictionaries. French Lexique is CC BY-SA 4.0, and Korean dictionary text is CC BY-SA 2.0 KR.

Are the verbs conjugated?

No. The generator does not change a verb to match a tense, person or sentence. French results use infinitives and Japanese results use dictionary forms. Check the form you need in a grammar reference.

How are syllables or units counted?

The value is stored per entry. French uses Lexique, Russian counts vowel letters, Japanese counts mora, Traditional Chinese and Korean count characters or syllable blocks, and Latin corpora use documented heuristics where no source field is available.

Can the same verb appear twice in one batch?

No. One generation returns distinct verbs inside the same batch. A later click starts a new draw, so a verb can appear again in a future batch.

Does the page explain verb meanings?

No. It displays the verb surface and size metadata only. Definitions, tense tables, valency, and example sentences are outside this panel.

Does the generator store my results?

No result history is shown by the page. Copying a result sends the selected text to your local clipboard.

Can I use every verb for any public project?

The page gives word prompts, not legal clearance. Check the source attribution rules and your own use case before publishing a large copied list.

About this verb generator

RandomHub’s verb generator is meant for fast action prompts, not for replacing a dictionary or grammar book. It focuses on the controls visitors actually use: choose a language page, set a count, narrow the beginning or ending, limit the word by syllables, mora, characters, or letters, and copy a clean batch. The sources are named because word lists have provenance: Kaikki and wordfreq for several Latin language lists, Lexique 3.83 for French, Leipzig frequency lists for German and Russian ranking, JMdict for Japanese, 萌典 with jieba and OpenCC for Traditional Chinese, and 한국어기초사전 for Korean. The page does not conjugate verbs, provide definitions, correct sentences, track results, or promise that every verb suits every child, classroom, brand, or public project. Use the generator as a prompt source, then check important words in the relevant dictionary or style guide before publishing.

Method and sources

A local subset of the named sources, filtered by part of speech. Selection and unit counts are documented above; this is not a complete dictionary or a claim of manual review for every word.

The action-card game mirrors how the random verb generator works: draw a random action, then act it out before the hourglass runs out.
