Turning-ant adjectives into-ancy-ance nouns

Many adjectives in the English language end in the same sound made with either –ant or –ent.

A good rule to follow is if the root word can be given an –ation ending then it will usually end in –ant.

So if the root word can be given an –ation ending, then it will usually end in –ant (and not –ent).
