Verbs which doesn't act like a verb and doesn't get changed, though the tense, person or number gets changed in a sentence are non-finite verbs. For example,
(a) He likes to play football.
(b) They likes to play football.
(Here, the verb 'play 'doesn't have any subject, doesn't get changed because of number, person or tense)
Non-finite verbs is further divided into three types, namely–
- Infinitives
- Gerunds
- Participles
Infinitive - Verbs that are in the form of to + base form of verb which functions as a noun, an adjective or an adverb in a sentence are infinitives. For example, She is struggling to collect the stamps.
Gerund - These are verbs with a suffix "ing", and functions as a noun in a sentence are gerunds. For example, Collecting stamps is her hobby.
- The gerund "collecting" is acting as the noun in this sentence.
Participle - This type of verb also has "ing" as a suffix (in case of present tense) which is used as an adjective in a sentence. For example, Boring movies were played by them.
- Here the noun is movies and the participle (present) "boring" is acting as an adjective.
