Question

Answer 1

Answer:

to the rank - infinitives

Explanation:

There are three types of non-finite verbs: gerunds, participles, and infinitives.

Gerunds all end in -ing: skiing, reading, dancing, singing, etc. Gerunds act like nouns and can serve as subjects or objects of sentences.

A participle is is used as an adjective or an adverb. There are two types of participle in English: the past and present participles.

The present participle also takes the –ing form: (e.g., writing, singing, and raising).

The past participle typically appears like the past tense, but some have different forms: (e.g., written, sung and raised).

The infinitive is the basic dictionary form of a verb, usually preceded by to. Thus to go is an infinitive.
