Donor Activist Teacher These are common nouns. You can read more on noun types here Often, (as douds said) with these nouns, there are two types (But I am unaware of the actual term given to these) the person e.g. donor, educator, collaborator the noun form of their action e.g. donation, education, collaboration Cheers Jayho
