Guide students to rewrite the following sentences so the underlined verb is
nominalised (Student Workbook p 23). Sometimes everyday verbs cannot
be nominalised. First you have to find a more formal verb e.g.
•
find (everyday verb) > identify (more formal verb) > identification
(nominalisation)
look at (everyday verb) > observe (more formal verb) > observation
(nominalisation)
