Answer 2

The non-finite verb in the given sentence is 'passing' which is a present participle non- finite verb.

• A verb form that hides tense is referred to as a non-finite verb.
• In other words, a non-finite verb cannot be used to determine if a statement is in the past, present, or future tense.

• Therefore, the main verb in a phrase is never a non-finite verb.
• Non-finite verbs can be combined with a finite verb to form a verb tense or act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.

• Non-finite verbs can be of three types- Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles.
• Participle non-finite verbs are of two further types- Present (ends with "-ing") and past participle (ends with "-ed," "-d," "-t," "-en," or "-n").
• A verb form that can also serve as an adjective is a participle.
• In the given sentence, "passing" is an example of a present participle type of non- finite verb.
