Problem Explanation:
The task involves changing verbs into nouns by adding the suffixes
-er or
-r at the end of the verb. This is a common linguistic pattern in English where adding these suffixes to certain verbs creates a noun that refers to a person who performs the action described by the verb.
#### Part 1: Changing Verbs to Nouns
We are given five verbs and need to convert them into nouns by adding the appropriate suffix (

-r) and complete the sentences.
#### Part 2: Reading Words with "er" Suffix
The second part of the task is to read a list of words quickly, many of which contain the "er" suffix. This part is more about practice and familiarity with words containing this suffix.
