But you cannot say, 'I'm a suicide' or indeed, 'I am a murder'.

 

I suppose you could say "I am a suicide" if you were speaking from an afterlife viewpoint... Of course, the correct everyday expression would be "I am committing suicide," - perhaps better to use the future tense.

 

I am considering to commit suicide. X is considering to muirder me. I missed tonight's episode of The Soprano's, but I am not considering suicide. I am slightly drunk.

 

I think you could. It's not proper surely, but it is part of the slang that may one day be consdered proper.

For instance, "Kurt Cobain was a suicide waiting to happen." Or, "I am a suicide waiting to happen."

Same goes with murder. It can be used in an identical manner. The 'waiting to happen' or perhaps some other identifier is needed to show that the verb is an event being discussed.

"Waiting to happen" is a gerund, right? What would the "suicide" or "murder" be in this sentence? I never could diagram a sentence for shit. Maybe this is proper english after all, though, come to think of it.

Question:
While I think it is okay to change this sentence:
"That house belongs to some of them." -> emphasis on keeping the phrase
into:
"Some of them possess that house"
Is it okay, and if it is how should, to make the sentence so that the phrase "some of them" is placed right before the noun?
