A finite verb shows agreement with the subject in consideration and is marked for tense.
A finite verb can act as the root of an independent clause or full sentence.
Ways to Identify Finite Verbs
* Finite verbs can take an -ed or a -d at the end of the word to indicate time in the past: cough, coughed.
*All finite verbs take an -s at the end of the word to indicate the present when the subject of the verb is third-person singular: cough, he coughs; celebrate, she celebrates.
*Finite verbs are groups of words that have auxiliary verbs as can, must, have, and be: can be suffering, must eat, will have gone.
*Finite verbs follow their subjects: eg.He coughs. The documents had compromised him.
