tion vs ing
What is the difference between 'tion', and 'ing' suffixes in using and meaningcreation<> creating?
implementation<>implementing
Hello Mostafa,
The -ing form is used as part of a continuous verb tense - I am creating / I was creating. It can also be used with certain adjectives to describe the effect something/someone has on someone. Learning languages is interesting. To say how you feel use the -ed form. I am bored!
The -tion form is usually the noun.
Hope this helps

Hey!
So creating is present continuous, it is in the process at the time spoken.
Example: 'I am reading' --- Meaning the 'reading' is happening right now.
'Creation' is a noun. It comes from the verb 'to create', but is now turned to a noun by the 'tion'.
Example: 'Jim cooked his own creation.' We are no longer able to add a suffix to 'creation' (other then 's').
I hope this helps! :)
