The suffix -tion is used to create nouns from verbs and is generally used to indicate the act or result of an action, the state of being, or the process of. It can be used to form words that mean "the act of" or "the state of". For example, the verb "inform" becomes the noun "information" by adding the suffix -tion. Similarly, the verb "multiply" becomes the noun "multiplication" by adding the same suffix.
