what do you mean by non finite verbs
Answers
Answer:
An unfinished creative work is a painting, novel, musical composition, or other creative work, that has not been brought to a completed state. ... Such pieces are often the subject of speculation as to what the finished piece would have been like had the original creator completed the work.
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. Therefore, a non-finite verb is never the main verb in a sentence. (That's a finite verb.) There are three types of non-finite verbs:
Gerunds (e.g., "baking," "singing").
Infinitives (e.g., "to bake," "to sing").
Participles. There are two types:
Present Participles (e.g., "baking," "singing").
Past Participles (e.g., "baked," "sung").
Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
