Verbal nouns

This article or section needs to be revised:

1. Evidence is missing
2. duden.de: Verbal noun = "verb form used as a noun (e.g. wealth, wealthy)", i.e. not just "verb form in which a verb can take on the grammatical function of a noun", since wealthy does not have the function of a noun, but that of an adjective. (If the word verbal nouns is ambiguous, that should of course also be mentioned.)
   Please help to improve it and then remove this marking.

The verbal noun is an infinite verb form in which a verb can take on the grammatical function of a noun . In German , the verbal noun has the same form as the infinitive (which is preceded by an article ): Working .

It is thus distinguishable from the verbal noun in which a noun that was formed from a verb and the event (actions, processes) in question is called a thing .

Verbal nouns are used in particular in the island Celtic languages to form infinite constructions: Dw i'n gallu siarad Cymraeg ( Kymrisch : I can speak Kymrisch ). In German there are regionally periphrastic tenses formed with the verbal noun: He is working .
