editVerbal nouns and deverbal nouns are distinct syntactic word classes. Functionally, deverbal nouns operate as autonomous common nouns,[1] while verbal nouns retain verbal characteristics.[clarification needed]

editThere are two connotations of the deverbal nouns: the one formed without any suffix,[example needed] or any noun descending from a verb.[2]
