10TH GRAMMER/NOMINALISATION/PREPOSITIONS/ARTICLES/CSRA:

 

A.10th English Grammar /Nominalisation:

*Nominalisation is a function that not only helps you to create variety in your writing but also thwarts you from repeating the same verb/word over and over again. It can also make the text brief by packing a great deal of information into a few words. As a result of using nominalisation, your writing will be more formal. It is a noun phrase generated from another word class, usually a verb. (Other word classes include adjectives and nouns) In other words, the process of nominalisation turns verbs into nouns which may be things, concepts or people.

*பெயரளவாக்கம் என்பது உங்கள் எழுத்தில் பலவகைகளை உருவாக்க உதவுவது மட்டுமல்லாமல், அதே வினை / வார்த்தையை மீண்டும் மீண்டும் சொல்வதைத் தடுக்கிறது. இது ஒரு சில சொற்களில் ஏராளமான தகவல்களை பேக் செய்வதன் மூலம் உரையை சுருக்கமாகவும் செய்யலாம். பெயரளவாக்கத்தைப் பயன்படுத்துவதன் விளைவாக, உங்கள் எழுத்து மிகவும் முறைப்படி இருக்கும். இது மற்றொரு சொல் வகுப்பிலிருந்து உருவாக்கப்பட்ட பெயர்ச்சொல் சொற்றொடர், பொதுவாக ஒரு வினைச்சொல். (பிற சொல் வகுப்புகளில் உரிச்சொற்கள் மற்றும் பெயர்ச்சொற்கள் அடங்கும்) வேறுவிதமாகக் கூறினால், பெயரளவாக்கம் செயல்முறை வினைச்சொற்களை பெயர்ச்சொற்களாக மாற்றுகிறது, அவை விஷயங்கள், கருத்துகள் அல்லது நபர்களாக இருக்கலாம்.
