When you swim, you push against the water with a force, the reaction propels you forward.
A propeller or jet engine accelerates the a mass of air rearward, the reaction propels the plane mass forward.
Stand on a row boat and try to push off the boat on to the dock, and the force you apply to the dock reacts to push the boat backward, and into the water you go.
A high pressure water hose forces out water and the reaction is a wild spinning hose, like a snake on drugs.
An ice skater pushes back to glide forward: action reaction.
I shot a big caliber rifle once, the action of the bullet propelled forward forced the rifle backward and I ended up with a black eye.
