The noun act is usually used when you want to comment on a particular
thing that someone has done: 'It was an act of great courage.' 'These
cowardly terrorist acts bring death and suffering to the innocent.'
When you are talking about someone's general behaviour, use actions:
'You can't be blamed for your parents' actions.' 'Her words and actions
have not gone unnoticed.'
