Non-finite Verbs What is a non-finite verb? A non-finite verb (or a verbal) is a verb form that is not limited by a subject; and more generally, it is not fully inflected by categories. A non-finite verb can not be used as the predicate in a sentence. Non-finite verbs cannot be main verbs by themselves. The infinitive and present and past participles are the non-finite parts of a verb; To do; doing; done

Infinitives An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the word to plus a verb (in its simplest "stem" form) and functioning as a noun, adjective, or adverb.

Infinitive Phrases An Infinitive Phrase is a group of words consisting of an infinitive and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the actor(s), direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the infinitive

Verbs that take infinitive objects without actors: agree,begin,continue,decide,fail,hesitate, hope,intend,learn,neglect,offer,plan,prefer, pretend,promise,refuse,remember,start,try 

Verbs that take infinitive objects with actors: advise,allow,convince,remind,encourage, force,hire,teach,instruct,invite,permit,tell, appoint,order Verbs that use either pattern: ask,expect(would), like,want

Gerunds A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other two kinds of verbals, is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being. However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would, for example: subject, direct object, subject complement, and object of preposition.

Functions Gerund as subject Gerund as direct object Gerund as subject complement Gerund as object of preposition

A Gerund Phrase A Gerund Phrase is a group of words consisting of a gerund and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the gerund.

Participles A participle is a verbal that is used as an adjective and most often ends in -ing or -ed. There are two types of participles: present participles and past participles. Present participles end in -ing. Past participles end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, or -n, as in the words asked, eaten, saved, dealt, and seen.

A participial phrase A participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle.

A participial phrase A participial phrase is set off with commas when it: a) comes at the beginning of a sentence b) interrupts a sentence as a nonessential element c) comes at the end of a sentence and is separated from the word it modifies.
