The AnswerMug Challenge Series, This Ought To Be Easy Edition: what are some nouns in the English language that are not also verbs?* ~

*For the purposes of this challenge, only the infinite infinitive form of the verb will be used for comparison with the noun. For example, run/run, peel/peel, fire/fire, drive/drive, train/train, direct/direct, sleep/sleep, whistle/whistle. 

Pronouns do do not count. 



Inspired by this question, which was posted by another member of this website: "Can you think of a name that is also a verb and a noun?"

    Infinite form? Should that not be infinitive form?

    I actually don't know what infinitive form means, but I know what infinite means. So I can't answer your question.

      It means that instead of the gerund: is running, or the past participle: had driven, or the past tense whistled, only the basic form of the verb will be considered.
