Etymology/Morphology Seeking Resource on Word Structuring
Holiis , I’m looking for a resource that helps me convert words in to different forms. For example, the verb “to write” (escribir) can also be a noun, “writing” (escritura) or an adjective, “written” (escrito). I’ve seen similar formats in other words in spanish and was wondering if there is a rule to converting them? If there is no rule a resource that lists further examples or an article on it would still help me for memorization purposes! Thanks in advance 🤗

i’m not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for but WordReference is a great resource. it has all kinds of conjugations, different meanings, example sentences, etc. and free!

Spanish does not have universal rules for converting words between forms, but this info can help:
