DEFINE FINITE AND NON-FINITE VERB
Answers
Explanation:
NON-FINITE VERBS - DEFINITION:-
Non-finite verbs are verbs that do not show a distinction in number, person, or tense. These verbs can usually not function as the main verb in a sentence.
Non-finite verbs are of three kinds: infintives, participles, and gerunds.
NON-FINITE VERBS - EXAMPLE:-
Read the following sentence:
Sailing is my favourite hobby.
In this sentence, the verb "sailing" is a non-finite verb because it does not indicate any person, number, or tense.
FINITE VERBS - DEFINITION
Finite verbs are verbs that reveal a tense and are connected to the subject in a sentence. They can function as the main verb in the sentence.
FINITE VERBS - EXAMPLE
Read the following sentence:
We distributed the cupcakes to all the guests and children.
In this sentence, the verb "distributed" is a finite verb because it is directly related to the subject "we" and it also reveals that the action took place in the past.
