Words we use together - verbs + nouns

In my last post, I wrote about dependent preposition as an example of words we generally use together. Today, we will look at another set of words that go together. These are verbs and nouns. Examples are given below.

(1) The Company will cut jobs because of bad economy.   

(2) The government is preparing a new economic policy that will create jobs

(3) The creation of new jobs will reduce unemployment (jobless) rate. 

(4) The government also wants to reduce corruption.

(5) The government is also telling the citizens to start business

(6) The government is worried about unemployment and is taking action.

(7) Many companies can also take action by expanding their businesses.

(8) Expanding businesses force companies to launch new products.

(9) Companies can also form partnerships in order to increase sales.

(10) These companies can raise capital by borrowing money from banks.

(11) But, the government will raise interest rate if there is a lot of money in circulation.

(12) Many businesspeople say the government should pay attention to the unemployment rate and not to the quantity of money in circulation.

(13) The companies argue that they have to pay many bills


All the words in black are verbs followed by nouns. Do you remember other words used as verbs and nouns? Use them and make sentences.
