Which is a noun that can be made from any verb?

You may be thinking of a gerund, the present participle of a verb functioning as a noun. Examples:

The singing in the kitchen tells me that dad is home.

Wishing and hoping is not a good way to achieve your goals.

I always have time for dancing.

The present participle of a verb also functions as an adjective; for example a wishing well, singing lessons, dancing shoes, etc.
