Six of the words in the box can be used as both verbs and nouns. Which two words can't?
Răspuns
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).
