Match on action: this occurs with an action, such as opening a door, beginning in one shot. In the next shot the camera, now indoors, would photograph the person entering the room and closing the door, allowing us to see the action from two different perspectives.
Shot reverse shot is a technique where the camera shot shows one character looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character, for example in conversation. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other. This is also used to show a reaction shot.
180 degree rule is a concept which helps keep continuity editing consistent. It sticks to one imagery line and cuts through the middle of a scene, from side to side. The rule is that you only film from one side of this line, as to not disorientate the viewer by changing their perspective.
