Word forms 1: nouns from verbs

wordforms 55 terms TOEIC Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

A large share of TOEIC Part 5 questions give you one word and four forms of it, and the sentence decides which form belongs. Turning a verb into its noun — negotiate into negotiation, choose into choice, fail into failure — is the most common of those transformations, and the endings are irregular enough to be worth learning as a list.

How to use this list

For each verb below, produce the noun that corresponds to it, then check your ending against the list.
