Question

tips and tricks to identify finite and infinite verbs

Answer 1

Heya!! Here is your answer.

$\textbf{There are two types of verbs:}$

✨$\textbf{Finite Verbs}$

✨ $\textbf{Non-finite verbs}$

Now,let me explain these to you.

⭐Finite verbs are verbs which change their form when there is a change in the number and person of the subject.

For example, consider this sentence.

1 ) She loves rain.(This sentence is in the third person singular).

Now,let's change its person.

2 )I love rain.(It is the same sentence but it's in the first person singular)

Now, let's again change it.

3 )You love rain.(It's again the same sentence but it's in the second person)

✨So,the verbs in these three sentences are finite verbs as they changed their form when there was a change in number and person.

⭐ Non-finite verbs are just the opposite.They don't show any change.There are three types of Non-finite verbs:

✨$Gerunds$ (or verbal nouns)

✨$Participles$ (or verbal adjective)

✨$Infinitives$

⭐A gerund is a verb which acts as a noun.

⭐A participle is a verb which acts an an adjective.

⭐An infinitive is a verb which acts as a noun, adjective and adverb.

Now,consider these examples.

1 ) This is a burning house.

Observation- The word "burning" is a Participle because it's a verb which is working as an adjective.Its describing the word "house".

NOTE:-There are two types of Participles, Past and Present.

2 ) Eating chips on a windy day.

Observation-The word "Eating" is a gerund as it's working as a noun in this sentence.

NOTE:-Gerunds always have "ing" with them.

3 ) I love to swim.

Observation-The word "to swim" is the Infinitive as it's qualifying the word "swim".

NOTE:-Infinitives generally have "to" in front of them.
