I think you are asking what the name is for verbs acting as nouns. They are called gerunds and usually if not always end in -ing. Running is good exercise but hard on the feet and knees. To run is a verb; running is either a progressive participle of the verb or a gerund.

He's a talented baseball player. * Did you paint the kitchen? Claude Monet was a famous, French painter. * Please teach me the song. She wants to be a music teacher.

∙ 12y agoA form of a verb that is also a noun is a gerund (verbal noun). The present participle of verbs (ending in -ing) are adjectives and gerunds. For example:
Noun: 'I love dancing'
Verb: 'We're dancing to the music.'
Adjective: 'Let's put on our dancing shoes.'
There are other words that are both a verb and a noun, for example 'Let's dock the boat at the dock.' or 'We can invite some friends for a fish fry and fry all these fish.'
