Question
Six of the words in the box can be used as both verbs and nouns. Which two words can't?
Answer
The following can’t be used as both verb and noun:
- accept (verb), acceptance (noun)
- ignore (verb), ignorance (noun)
We can say to quote (verb) and a quote (noun, meaning the words somebody says), although students may also suggest a quotation (= the price that a workman thinks a job will cost).
