? Exercise 1. Underline the verbs in the following passage. Write F for the finite verbs
and N for the non-finite verbs
Playing games has never been my strong point. I have not
learnt even swimming although I have lived by the sea all my
life. At school everybody laughed at me when I flopped into
the water and began to fumble about in the pool. I enjoyed
splashing around in the water but I could never succeed
in getting both feet off the ground, nor could I master the
art of pushing myself forward by using my arms and legs
at the same time. In the end it was accepted that I would
never succeed in swimming. I had already proved myself
useless at running and jumping, and because of my very small size, weightlifting was
totally out of question. In the end, I resigned to being only a spectator. I ended up
becoming a sports commentator.
C) The Infinitive
The infinitive is also referred to as the to-verb. But it can be used with or without to:
(to infinitive)
1. I want to play.
2. You ought to have played.

Answer:
Marine Turtle Conservation in Maharashtra (2002 to 2006)
Sahyadri Nisarga Mitra (SNM) started Marine turtle conservation first time in Maharashtra. In the year 2002 SNM started actual protection work for Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) in Velas, a tiny village on northernmost boundary of district Ratnagiri. In the first year SNM undertook protection work in one village and successfully protected 50 nests. Within a short span of time SNM spread the protection work to entire coast of Maharashtra state, that's about 720 kms of coastline in all. In the forth year of the project we arranged protection work in 15 villages, but found only 36 nests against 50 in a village. These figures themselves can prove that the marine turtle is crossing the upper limits of its presently endangered status very rapidly...
SNM is trying its level best to they
