Noun: Vacuum Cleaner
Verb: Vacuum

Noun: Light
Verb: light, lighted, lit
In the early 1900s Thomas Edison created the light bulb and new light fixtures to replace the dangerous gas lights. He invited the town officials to see a street to be lighted up without any gas lights. When the lights were lit everyone was awed.
The basic concept is that the noun will either retain it's original word as a verb or will be varied a little. The examples show how they can be varied by the tenses.
