A non-finite verb is a verb form that does not show tense. In other words, you cannot tell if a sentence is in the past tense, present tense, or future tense by looking at a non-finite verb.
There are three types of non-finite verbs:
Gerunds:-
Gerunds all end in -ing: skiing, reading, dancing, singing, etc.
Participles :-
A participle is is used as an adjective or an adverb.
Infinitives :-
The infinitive is the basic dictionary form of a verb, usually preceded by to.
