The phenomenon of conversion is very beneficial for all English learners: by memorizing a noun, you will simultaneously learn the corresponding verb (and vice versa), thereby obtaining twice as much information to expand your vocabulary - and all this without pitfalls like changing the place of stress or spelling of the word . Some nouns derived from verbs can only be used in the singular. As a rule, they are used in combination with a certain verb or group of verbs, for example, to get, to have, to take.

to take a shower - take a shower

to take a walk - to walk

to have a talk - talk

to get a call - receive a call
