Walking down the street he met his old friend. (Find the non finite verbs and state whether it is infinitive, non infinitive or gerand)

Answer 1

Answer:

To invite - Infinitive

Having - Non infinitive: Present Participle

Repaired - Non infinitive: Past Participle

Acting - Gerund

Walking - Non infinitive: Present Participle

Explanation:

Infinitives are the basic form of verbs where to is added. So, first sentence is an infinitive where "to invite" is the answer for (i).

Non infinitives are the dependent clauses which can not serve as the action of the sentence. So, sentence (ii), (iii) and (v) are non infinitive verbs where "Having, Repaired, Walking" are the answers.

Lastly, Gerunds act like nouns, end with -ing and can serve as subject or objects of the sentence. So, sentence (iv) is a Gerund where "Acting" is the answer.
