Slide 5

    How to change a verb to noun?
    There are useful ways you can use to change the verb to noun with the right suffix: Locate the verb: a verb is an action word. Add an appropriate determiner before the word: for example use (the) , (a) or (an) before the verb so you can make sense of it when you pronounce it.  Rewrite the sentence: write the sentence again and try to change the location of the verb after you add the suffix. Ex:  Many students prefer to choose their groups members, Choosing groups member is a preference to many students.  Consult a dictionary to double check your suffixes:  it is a good way especially when English language is not your first language.
