Answer:

output is a noun

and is means an amount of something produced by a person, machine, factory, country, etc

Step-by-step explanation:

3 examples are

The input refers to the processible language the learners are exposed to while listening or reading (i.e. The receptive skills). The output, on the other hand, is the language they produce, either in speaking or writing (i.e. The productive skills).
