Question

What are finite verbs ?
Explain with examples....

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between finite verbs and nonfinite verbs is that the former can act as the root of an independent clause, or a full sentence, while the latter cannot.

For example, take the following sentence:

The man runs to the store to get a gallon of milk.

"Runs" is a finite verb because it agrees with the subject (man) and because it marks the tense (present tense). "Get" is a nonfinite verb because it does not agree with the subject or mark the tense. Rather, it is an infinitive and depends on the main verb "runs." By simplifying this sentence, we can see that "runs" has the ability to act as the root of an independent clause:

The man runs to the store.

Answer 2

A finite verb is a form of a verb that has a subject and can function as the root of an independent clause; an independent clause can, in turn, stand alone as a complete sentence. In many languages, finite verbs are the locus of grammatical information of gender, person, number, tense, aspect, mood, and voice.
