Verbals by Marsha Barrow

Verbals are phrases using verbs as nonverbs Verbals are phrases using verbs as nonverbs. There are three kinds of verbals: Gerunds Infinitives Participles

Gerunds A gerund is a form of verb ending in –ing. The way we use a gerund is what makes it different from a verb. Gerunds act as nouns.

The following sentences give different examples of how to use gerunds as nouns: Dancing is good exercise. (Gerund as a subject) Josh enjoys dancing. (Gerund as an object of a verb) He knows a lot about dancing. (Gerund as an object of a preposition) It is interesting to watch good dancing. (A modifier preceding a gerund is usually an adjective) Dancing well requires practice. (A modifier following a gerund is usually an adverb) We enjoyed the girl’s dancing. My dancing made my boyfriend laugh. (When a gerund has a subject it is possessive)

These are some common verbs that are often followed by gerunds: Enjoy Postpone Think about Finish Mind Put off Consider Stop Keep (on) Wait Talk about Quit

Infinitives An infinitive is the simple form of a verb preceded by the word “to.” Infinitives can also act as nouns like gerunds do.

Examples of infinitives: To fly is one of my ambitions. Since ancient times, people have attempted to fly. To play the game is to win the prize. Infinitives following certain verbs, such as let or make, appear without the “to.” The coach let the team choose it’s own captain. The editors made the reporters check their facts thoroughly.

followed by infinitives: These are some common verbs that are often followed by infinitives: Want Hope Decide Seem Need Expect Promise Appear Would like Plan Offer Pretend Would love Intend Agree Forget Try Mean Refuse Learn Afford Wait
