-tion Ending

We used the words communicate, communication, invent and invention in this reading about Alexander Graham Bell. Notice how adding –tionat the end of a word changes it from a verb (action word) to a noun (the name of a person, action, place or thing).

When the verb ends in –e, remove the –e before adding -tion. If the verb ends in –te remove the –e and just add –ion. If the verb ends in –t just add –ion.

Can you make nouns out of these verbs? Then put the new words you formed in sentences.
