Convertir verbos en sustantivos nos permitirá hablar de un modo mucho más formal y poniendo el foco en la acción, en lugar del responsable de esta.

Frases nominales vs. frases verbales

Convirtiendo una oración “Verb phrase” en un “Noun phrase”, nos permite resaltar una acción y darle más formalidad a la misma utilizando sustantivos en lugar de verbos. Desechamos el sujeto, y convertimos a la acción en la parte principal de una oración con voz pasiva.

Para convertir un verbo en un sustantivo, basta con agregarles un determinado sufijo como: “-ion”, “-tion”, “-ness”, “-ment”, “-ity”, “-ry”, “-al”, “-ance”, entre otros. Con la experiencia en el idioma, sabrás qué terminación utilizar con cada verbo.

Veamos algunos ejemplos:

Verb phrase Noun phrase
We need to expand our business. Our business needs an expansion.
We consume a lot of electricity. Our consumption of electricity has been excessive lately.
You guys need to prepare for the upcoming art exposition. Preparedness for the upcoming art exposition is key to success.
We need Esther to repair different devices around the office. The reparation of office devices is one of Esther’s responsibilities.

Busquemos un ejemplo del roleplay: Our investment in the social media team has led to some positive growth.

Convertir verbos en sustantivos sin duda ampliará tu vocabulario y las estructuras gramaticales que utilizamos para escribir o para hablar. Poder utilizar nuevas palabras, nos permitirá expresar ideas de nuevas manera.
