The three stages of volcanic activity are active, dormant, and extinct.
An active volcano is one which has recently erupted and there is a possibility that it may erupt soon. A dormant volcano is one which has not erupted in a long time but there is a possibility it can erupt in the future. Last, but not least an extinct volcano is one in which it has no magma activity and shows no signs of ever erupting again.
Hope this helped :)
