Here are some more examples: accommodation; location; creation; rotation; education; mediation. If the ending comes after any consonant apart from -l, -n, or -r,...

If the noun is related to a word ending in -ate, then the ending will be -ation, e.g. donation (from donate) or vacation (from vacate). Here are some more examples: accommodation; location; creation; rotation; education; mediation. If the ending comes after any consonant apart from -l, -n, or -r, then the ending is spelled -tion: action; connection; reception; affection; interruption; description; collection; infection; deception. After -n and -r, the ending can be -tion or -sion. It's more likely to be -tion if the word's related to another one that ends in -t or -tain, e.g. assertion (from assert) or retention (from retain). Here are some more examples: exertion; invention. read less

Often when we form nouns from verbs we add the suffixes -tion or less often -sion (both are usually pronounced with a 'sh' sound on the initial letter). If the root word ends in /m/ /r/ /t/, use -tion: complete, completion If the root word ends in /d/, /s/ or /p/, use sion: extend - extension | supress...

Often when we form nouns from verbs we add the suffixes -tion or less often -sion (both are usually pronounced with a 'sh' sound on the initial letter). If the root word ends in /m/ /r/ /t/, use -tion: complete, completion If the root word ends in /d/, /s/ or /p/, use sion: extend - extension | supress - supression | decide - decision If the sound of the last syllable is the "heavy" sound of /zhun/ rather than the light sound, /shun/, use s: confusion, vision, adhesion Verbs ending in --mit become -mission: admit - admission | permit - permission | omit - omission | submit - submission | commit - commission Here are some verb/noun families:- admit alter inform decide describe multiply Note the adjustments that are necessary to the spelling in each case: He admitted he had lied and this admission landed him in court. The dress will have to be altered and I'm going to have the alteration done professionally. I informed the police that I had seen one of the robbers in Margate and this information led to the arrest of the gang. I decided to give myself up. The decision was easy. My description was in all the newspapers. And I had been on the run for three weeks. Multiplication is the easiest part of arithmetic - much easier than addition, subtraction or division. It is actually easier to learn these word families than to try figuring out the rule, which as you can see often has an exception. #Pragneshkumar www.facebook.com/pragneshkumar.prajapati Like & Share read less
