Question

write the classification of finite and non finite verb along with five examples of each.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Finite verb forms show tense, person and number (I go, she goes, we went, etc.):

She was waiting in the room before he came in.

Does your brother know my brother?

The night before he had to leave, they sat on the small sofa in the living-room and looked at old family photos.

Aren’t you a bit late?

Non-finite verb forms do not show tense, person or number. Typically they are infinitive forms with and without to (e.g. to go, go), -ing forms and -ed forms (e.g. going, gone):

She tiptoed round the house so as not to wake anyone.
