1. Start buying the abandon buildings around there. (I saw this on the "Sopranos" show. I was thinking about it, "isn't that wrong"? Maybe it was a typo error from the closed-captioning.)
abandoned building (OK)
abandon building (Not OK)
Abandon the building! (OK; 'Abandon' functions as a verb; imperative)
2. It is probably a punctured from the rocks.
3. It is probably a puncture from the rocks.
It is probably a puncture. (OK; 'puncture' is a noun. Notice the article 'a'. Articles modify nouns or noun phrases; If you see an article, expect to find a noun. With 2., there's an article, but there's no noun, just an adjective 'punctured')
4. a punctured______ (Noun)
5. It is punctured. (OK; Adjective)
All the best,
