Nouns that derive from verbs are those that come from actions or processes. Sometimes these nouns can be confused with verbs in the infinitive but the difference is that the nouns have an acronym in their own right and cannot be conjugated.

These nouns are formed using:

• The suffixes -tion; -ction, or -sion. For example: cook - coction, ework - elaboratetion

• Suffix -I lie. For example: park - parklie, levacuate - liftI lie

Masculine nouns without apparent suffix
