But action is certainly an accident; therefore the operative power which it actualizes must also be an accident, and must therefore be really distinct from the substance of which it is a power, and of which existence is the actuality.
The operative power must be an accident because the action which actualizes it, the "actus secundus," is an accident.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "actualizes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
