នាមូបនីយកម្ម (ការបង្កើតនាម)

Turning Verbs and Adjectives into Nouns.

Why? It makes your writing sound highly academic, objective, and professional. Ideal for IELTS!

វាគឺជាការបំប្លែងកិរិយាសព្ទ ឬគុណនាម ទៅជានាម ដើម្បីធ្វើឱ្យអត្ថបទសរសេររបស់អ្នកមានលក្ខណៈផ្លូវការ និងបែបសិក្សា។

Over-nominalization

(ការប្រើប្រាស់នាមូបនីយកម្មច្រើនពេក ធ្វើឱ្យអត្ថបទពិបាកអាន និងសាំញ៉ាំ។)
"The implementation of the utilization of the new system..." ❌
"Using the new system..." ✔️
