find finite and non finite verb
Answers
Explanation:
In a sentence, there is normally at least one verb that has both a subject and a tense. When a verb has a subject and a tense, it can be referred to as a finite verb.
We want Charlie to act as club secretary.
I like taking photographs of insects.
Coming home last night, I saw a deer run across the road.
Some forms of a verb are referred to as non-finite. The present and past participles and the to infinitive are the most common of these. The base form is often used in a non-finite way. Every verb can be used in a clause in either a finite or non-finite way.
A verb is finite if it is found in a clause in combination with a subject and a tense.
I walked home.
We saw a deer.
They appreciate a little praise now and then.
