Making noun

Sir,


I have been given a list of verbs like (swim,eat,run....etc). I am asked to make noun for these verbs.

I have no idea how to make noun execept consulting thge dictionary.

Can you please provide me some guide line on this topic.

Thanks.

The easiest way is to add '-ing' and form the gerund. It is often the only noun available for a verb, but if a standard noun already exists, then the latter is usually preferable. Swim - 'swimming' Eat - 'eating' Run - 'running' but: Establish - 'establishing' or, preferably, 'establishment'.
