what is the finite verd?
Answers
Answer:
★Concept!
A finite verb is the main verb in a sentence. It’s the root word that drives the rest of the sentence. Almost every verb in the English language can be used as a finite verb as long as it has these qualities in a sentence:
- a subject
- agreement with the subject
- a tense (present or past)
Every sentence must have a finite verb – even sentences that are not in the present or past tenses. Finite verbs can stand alone in a sentence or as part of a verb phrase. If there is more than one verb in the sentence, the finite verb is usually the one closest to the subject.
★Examples of Finite Verbs:
It’s easier to find finite verbs in a sentence than it seems. No matter how long or short the sentence is, there is always at least one finite verb.
- Orlando swims three times a week.
- I cooked dinner last Thursday.
- Shawna is a teacher.
- We had a chemistry lesson yesterday.
- Our study group worked really late last night.
The rest of the sentence depends on the finite verb. Finite verbs can be action verbs or helping verbs. They can appear in both dependent and independent clauses, as long as they have a subject, agree with that subject, and are set in either present or past tense.
