Verb forms that are capable of full assertion in asentence and of changing their form to indicateperson, number and tense are called FINITE
VERBS.
Verb forms that do not assert fully and do notchange their form to indicate person, number or
tense are called NONFINITE VERBS.
There are three nonfinite verb forms:
- the present participle {-ING vb}
- the past participle {-D pp}- the infinitive (to)+ verb stem

All the verb forms mentioned are nonfinite

seven sentence pattern, but they do not
have full assertive power of the main verb.

VERBALS.
