Verbs to Nouns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the grammatical concept of using the suffix “-ing” to turn verbs into nouns. It lists verbs in their base form and provides spaces for students to write the noun form after adding “-ing.” The verbs provided include “begin,” “build,” “book,” and others, offering a variety of examples for the students to work with. The task requires the student to understand and apply the rule that adding “-ing” to a verb can change it into a noun that describes the action or process of the verb.

The worksheet is teaching students about gerunds, which are nouns formed from verbs by adding the suffix “-ing.” This concept is an important part of English grammar as it demonstrates how verbs can function as nouns, thus highlighting the flexibility of English word forms. By converting verbs to gerunds, students learn how a word’s part of speech can change, expanding their understanding of sentence structure. This exercise also enhances vocabulary skills by introducing students to new words and reinforcing the idea that many words in English can serve multiple grammatical functions.
