Finite verb forms are marked by inflection and indicate person, number and tense. A finite verb can be the single main verb in a sentence.

The finite forms of the verb go are:

go (present tense in all persons except the third person singular)

I go to school in the afternoon.

goes (present tense in the third person singular)

Mia goes to school by bus every day.

went (past tense)

Yesterday, we went to school at 9 am.

Non-finite verb forms do not indicate person, number or tense. In English most non-finite forms are infinitives, gerunds and participles.

The non-finite forms of the verb go are:

go (infinitive)

I can't go with you.

Unfortunately, she had to go.

Do you really go out with her?

I didn't go to work today.

I want to go home.

going (gerund)

I like going to the cinema.

Carol suggested going for a walk.

Going faster would have been really dangerous.

gone (past participle)

Jack has gone away on holiday.

By the time Sue returned, the others had gone back to their cars.

I wish I had gone to university.

going (present participle)

I'm going to a concert tonight.

I heard my dad going up the stairs.

Going across the bridge last night, I saw someone swimming in the river.

A nonfinite verb is a verb that is not finite. Nonfinite verbs cannot perform action as the root of an independent clause. Most nonfinite verbs found in English are infinitives, participles and gerunds. 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.
