Zero Derivation with Phrasal Verbs

I feel it would be advantageous to add a section onto either this or the phrasal verbs article concerning how nouns can be derived from verbs and their complements (traditionally referred to as prepositions.)

E.G.

An instance of X-ing – a dust off = an instance of dusting off (Gerund.) From Halo btw.

That which X-es – a look out = one who looks out (Agentive.)

That which is X-ed – a write up = that which is written up (A past passive participle which is nominalized in Latin.)

A point at which something is X-ed – a drop off = a place at which someone or something is dropped off (Locative usage.)
