Forms of nouns
Please can anyone help, I have to state two different forms of the following nouns such as repentance, cleanliness and grief and to name the forms (not synonyms).
Is repent and repenting right for repentance? I just need to know if I am on the right track? Also name the forms does this mean if it is a possesive noun for example? Thanks !!

Hi Sutty I doubt that your teacher wants you to include the possessive or plural forms of nouns -- but I may be wrong about that. Did your teacher mention that specifically? It sounds to me like you've been given a vocabulary building exercise, and what you are supposed to do is list the various forms of a word, and also label each according to what part of speech it is.

- For example: Word given: - repentance (noun) Other forms of the word: - repent (verb) - repentant (adjective) - repenting (present participle) I'd say the main forms your teacher wants you to find for each word would be the following: noun verb adjective adverb Again, I may be wrong about what you're supposed to do.
- However, what I've written above is an exercise that ESL teachers often give their students.
