Answer 2

• 'To notice' is the non-finite verb.
• It is an infinitive kind of non-finite verb.

About non-finite verbs:

• There are two kind of verbs: finite and nonfinite verbs.
• Finite verbs are those that follow a noun. They are the main verbs in the sentence.
• Non-finite verbs do not have tense. That is they are verbs used in a varied form: noun, adjective and adverb.
• They are of three kinds: infinitive, gerund and past participle.
• Infinitives are words that are in the form of 'to + verb'. (Eg): 'to drink', 'to write', etc.,
• Gerunds are words that are in '-ing' form. They act as nouns. (Eg): Swimming is a good exercise. Here 'swimming' is the gerund.
• Past participles are words like: given, eaten, broken, etc.,
• In the sentence given, we have 'see' and 'to notice'. 'See' is a finite verb as it expresses tense and it follows the noun 'I'.
• 'To notice' is the nonfinite verb that is in infinite form.
