Day 58: Change –tion of endings to –ing for more active sentences.

Whenever you write a noun that ends in -tion, stop and take another look at the sentence. In most cases, the sentence will need to be revised. This is especially true when you write -tion of.

Consider this sentence.

“The reorganization of the department made many employees unhappy.”

Using this tip, we will change “reorganization of” to “reorganizing.” This gives us

“Reorganizing the department made many employees unhappy.”

This is better because it implies that someone or something performed an action. While “reorganizing” is a gerund (an –ing verb used as a noun), it gives the sense of action that “reorganization of” doesn’t.
