Nope.
"I want to avenge him" would be correct if your meaning is to help a victim.
"I want revenge on him" would be correct if your meaning is to get back at someone who harmed you or a friend.

No. I think that the right sentence would be:
I want to get my revenge on him.
Or something like that.

I don't think revenge can be used as a verb. I think you are looking for the word avenge.

No. The correct sentence would be ...
"I want to avenge" (whatever he has done).
The verb "to avenge" means "to take revenge" for something.
You could say "I want to take revenge on him," or "I want to take vengeance" (on behalf of his victim).

No. Revenge is a noun, not a verb.
The more correct phrase would be "I want to AVENGE him," meaning to seek retribution on "him"'s behalf.

NO. "I want to avenge him" would be correct or " I want revenge on him", it depends on what your trying to say.

It should be
"I want to seek revenge on him" if he was the bad guy
or
"I want to seek revenge for him" if he was the one who was the victim

DO you want to "get" your revenge or get revenge for him?

No.
If you're looking to get even with him, you would say, "I want to exact revenge on him, " or "I want to get revenge on him."
If you're trying to right a wrong on his behalf, you would say "I want to avenge him," or "I want to avenge his mistreatment."
Hope that helps.

No its not write.
A good thing to do with verbs are to go into word, and type the simplest verb and then use thesaurus th to find a more complex verb.
