Nominalisation — practise in context
Nominalisation: progressive explanation, topic-specific examples, guided exercises and a corrected assessment.
1. Objective
By the end, you will manipulate forms related to “Nominalisation” without copying the model.
2. Discover
Take two “Nominalisation” examples and change one element at a time.
3. Understand
To understand “Nominalisation”, start from the examples rather than an abstract definition. Do not memorise the word alone. Notice what it combines with and where you could use it.
Look at the word together with the words around it. The correct choice often depends on construction, register or collocation, not just translation.
4. Guided practice
5. Independent practice
6. Write / speak
Create two personal examples with “Nominalisation”: one close to the model and one from your own day.
7. Check your learning
8. Remember
For nominalisation, identify the context first, then the form carrying the useful information. Always check your answer in a complete sentence.
9. Now I can…
- I can recognise “Nominalisation” in a new example.
- I can justify my choice and create an example.
