Plain verbs vs [conjunctive form 連用形]+をする (e.g. 間違える vs 間違えをする)


**(Question 1)**

Are there any differences in nuance and usage of conjunctive form of verb
(連用形) + をする compared to the plain form of [those verbs whose conjunctive forms
can be used as nouns](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/2513/is-it-
true-that-all-verbs-have-a-corresponding-noun-form)?

For example:

  1. 間違える vs 間違えをする

  2. 考える vs 考えをする

  3. 逃げる vs 逃げをする

**(Question 2)**

Does (連用形) + をする follow the plain form in term of transitive or intransitive?
E.g 逃げる is intransitive; is 逃げをする intransitive too?




**Q_1** I find those forms very unnatural, and even though some seem to be
somehow used, it might be a mistake…

間違え as a name has no occurrence in ALC, so I find this name suspicious.

考え as a name is quite common. I found many occurrences preceded by a な-adj,
like "否定的な考えをする", and also expressions "そんな時には、ヘタに考えをするよりも" and
"というような考えをする人".

For 逃げ, it's mostly compound nouns: 売り逃げ、 勝ち逃げ、 飲み逃げ, where there seems to be
no related existing compound verb.

I remark that 間違え is the only of those which comes from a verb that has an
intransitive version too, and which seems not to be correct as a noun. This
might be an important point in the validity of the derivation of a noun.

As for the nuance, I'd say there's one as in English, when you say something
like "to escape" and "to do a (daring) escape". Making a noun from the verb by
using its radix allows you to give a finer description by using adjectives,
without the grammatically heavy use of "こと/もの".

Also, there's a nuance between "he did an audacious tentative of escape
(noun)" and "he audaciously attempted to escape (verb)", which may be renderer
similarly as you suggest.

**Q_2**

I don't understand very well your question. 連用形 becomes a noun, and it is the
object complement of transitive verb する, whose subject is marked by が。 逃げをする
could not be transitive. What would be its object?
