00 The 'ing' forms are verbs and the 'ion' forms are nouns. You can't use a verb where you should use a noun, and you can't use a noun where you should use a verb. You can usually choose to form your sentence using either though. 02 br

0 I'm assuming that you are talking about cases where both are used as nouns: a true noun ( 01 i 00 translation 02 i 00 ) and a gerund ( 01 i 00 translating 02 i 00 ). 02 br

00 Whether it's a major or minor mistake to mix them depends on the verb from which the nouns are derived. Sometimes the meanings are very close; sometimes they are v

My responsibilities included but were not limited to: export documents preparation, management of MRO services, repair costs evaluation, spare parts ordering, supply chain control, US storage supervision, reclam

Don't use nouns at all. They are very passive.
Instead, use the verb forms. Pretend that there is an "I..." before each statement.
If you still do this job:
Prepare export documents, manage MRO services, evaluate repair costs, order spare parts, control supply chain (really?? that's enormous - hardly something that fits in with "order spare parts!), supervise U.S. storage (what

No, there is no form for "set-up and cleaning" or "washing" that has an -ion ending.
He could have written "maintaining the dining hall" or "maintenance of the dining hall" with no difference in meaning.
