I've often been wondering what the best way to arrange the action sequence. Should I use one per turn only, whether it's drawing a sword or changing weapons to opening a door or attacking? Should maybe I have one main action, say attacking, and a side action, such as drawing your sword? Or maybe two actions per turn, two attacks or attack and open a door? Through your experience, what is the best, my fellow adventurers?
As this is the rules forum, I will give you the rules answer: You get one action, one bonus action, and your movement. As for what you can do for each of those things, I suggest you look through the free rules, which, incidentally, would have answered your original question as well.
Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.

Sabin76's advice to read through the Free Rules will greatly help understand the D&D 5th Edition rules.
But specifically to answer your question here are the links to what Sabin76 mentioned, and on each of your turns in combat (specifically), you get:
I hope this helps :)
Cheers!
