Remember
The suffix -ion is added to certain words to change them from verbs to nouns.
revise (verb) attract (verb) transmit (verb)
revision (noun) attraction (noun) transmission (noun)
The consonant sound at the end of each verb changes when -ion is added.
The /z/ in revise changes to /zh/ in revision; the /t/ in attract changes to
/sh/ in attraction; the /t/ in transmit changes to /sh/ in transmission.
When the base word ends in e, as in concentrate, the e is dropped before
the suffix -ion is added: concentration. Read each of these words aloud.

impress locate correct concentrate decorate

impression location correction concentration decoration
elect confuse discuss estimate exhaust
election confusion discussion estimation exhaustion
