Nominalization and Functions of Grammatical Components
Jessica Aguilar Valderrama
1. Functions of Grammatical Components: Verbs, Nouns, and Adjectives
Verbs: Words that indicate actions, states, or processes. Examples: run, think, exist. Nouns: Words that name people, things, places, ideas, or events. Examples: cat, happiness, meeting. Adjectives: Words that describe or qualify a noun, providing additional information about its characteristics. Examples: big, beautiful, interesting.
2. Nominalization
Nominalization is the process of transforming verbs or adjectives into nouns. For example: Verb to noun: to decide → decision. Adjective to noun: happy → happiness. This allows sentences to be restructured to make them more formal or academic, giving more emphasis to the action or state rather than who performs it.
Genially
3. Using the "-ing" Ending for Nominalizing Verbs
Verbs can be nominalized by adding the "-ing" ending, turning them into gerund nouns: Running becomes a noun that indicates the activity or act of running. Writing becomes a noun that indicates the act of writing. In these cases, the "-ing" forms function as nouns in the sentence: Running is good for health. Writing helps to express ideas.
4. Difference Between "-ing" and "-ed" in Adjectives
"-ing" Ending
"-ed" Ending
vs
Indicates that someone experiences a feeling or emotional state. Example: I was excited. The person experiences the excitement.
Indicates that something causes a feeling or has a quality that generates an effect on someone. Example: The movie was exciting. The movie causes excitement.
5. Examples of Nominalization
Verb with "-ing": "swimming" becomes a noun indicating the sport or activity of swimming.
Verb: "to inform" → Nominalization: "information".
Verb: "to explain" → Nominalization: "explanation".
Adjective: "happy" → Nominalization: "happiness".
