Thanks, I like your apprach of taking a standard sentence and then nomilizaing it. I have studying nomilizaiton for a while and this approach really helps. This is the first time this approach was used. Typically it is all about just learning how to nomilize verbs and some examples.

Hi, thanks for your comment. No is the answer. You still need basic subject -verb agreement. Yes, your sentence is perfectly fine.

Please, is nominalization a must for all the verbs in a sentence ? Could we say for ex: That an evaluation of results explains the loss in revenue? Thank you so much

@AcademicEnglishUK 2 года назад

No not all verbs as you still need subject + verb agreement in a sentence. Yes, you could say your example - that's perfectly fine. Thanks for your comment.

Can you nominalised this sentence " we define a business strategy as a long-term plan of action that is designed to achieve a particular goal"

@AcademicEnglishUK 4 месяца назад

Watch the video for the answer 🙃. Also check your grammar: can + infinitive NOT can + past participle. So your question should be 'Can you normalise this sentence?'

@hbdxxm Год назад

My sentence is : 'The definition of a business strategy is a design of a long-term plan of action for the achievement of a particular goal.''

@AcademicEnglishUK Год назад

Great work! 'The definition of a business strategy is [a design of]* a long-term plan of action for the achievement of a particular goal.'' * not necessary but ok.

Thank you so much for correcting me@@AcademicEnglishUK

The phrase "reaction to excessive" does not contain a 'to infinitive'. It is 'noun + preposition + adjective'.

@AcademicEnglishUK Год назад

Hi Ed, thank you so much for your comment. YES, you are correct - it should really be a noun phrase NOT a noun + to inf. We have edited the video and worksheet accordingly.

@edwalkeronthewing Год назад

@@AcademicEnglishUK Cool, thanks for your reply. And for the great videos. ☺️👍

How can I nominalization 1 the committee will make a formal decision this Friday 2 the police have a good description of the thief

@AcademicEnglishUK Год назад

Hi, thank you for your comment. A key part of nominalisation is that the verbs can be changed into nouns e.g. suggest / suggestion, agree/agreement, decide/decision. The verbs in your two sentences (have/make) don’t really have corresponding nouns. This worksheet includes a range of exercises to help you understand the verbs that can be nominalised: academic-englishuk.com/downloads/academic-passive-grammar/
