Verbs that mean "make someone angry"

 Question

Chris from Kenya asked: Can one use ire as a verb, as in “Her actions ire me a lot"?

Answer

The word ire is a noun that means “intense anger.”  It is also listed as a verb in a number of American English dictionaries, but it is rarely used that way.

Your sentence would be more easily understood with the verb anger, as in:

     Her actions anger me a lot.

Even better, you could use any of the verbs shown in the sentence below. They all mean  “to make (someone) very angry,” and they are stronger and more expressive than the verb anger.

     Her actions enrage/ incense/ infuriate/ outrage me. 

I hope this helps.
