“Academic writing often turns actions into ideas through nominalization, allowing writers to focus on concepts rather than events.”
— Unknown

This Grade 7 grammar worksheet focuses on nominalization, an important feature of academic writing. Students learn how verbs and adjectives can be transformed into nouns to create more formal and precise academic sentences. The worksheet includes structured practice activities that help learners identify nominalized forms, convert verbs into nouns, rewrite sentences using academic structures, and apply nominalization in short academic contexts. Differentiated sections gradually increase in difficulty, helping students strengthen both grammar awareness and formal writing skills.
