How do you add a suffix to communicate make it noun?

You're asking about how to turn a verb into a noun! Here's how you can do it with suffixes:

Common Noun Suffixes:

* -er/-or: This is one of the most common suffixes for turning verbs into nouns. It often refers to a person who does the action of the verb.

* -ment: This suffix often creates nouns that refer to the action or result of the verb.

* -tion/-sion/-ation: This suffix is similar to "-ment" and is commonly used for nouns that describe actions or states.

* -ing: This suffix can be used to create nouns that refer to the action of the verb itself.

* -ance/-ence: These suffixes are similar to "-ment" and "-tion" but are used for a specific set of verbs.

Examples:

| Verb | Suffix | Noun | Meaning |

|---|---|---|---|

| Teach | -er | Teacher | Someone who teaches |

| Govern | -ment | Government | The system of governing |

| Communicate | -tion | Communication | The act of communicating |

| Paint | -ing | Painting | The act of painting |

| Resist | -ance | Resistance | The act of resisting |

Important Notes:

* Not all verbs can be turned into nouns using suffixes.

* The choice of suffix depends on the specific verb and the desired meaning of the noun.

* Some verbs have more than one possible noun form.

Example:

The verb "to play" can be turned into the noun "player" (someone who plays) or "play" (the act of playing).
