Finite vs Non-Finite Verbs | Learn English | EasyTeaching

What are finite and non-finite verbs? Finite verbs change form according to the subject. They also show tense. Non-finite verbs do not change to match the subject, and they do not show tense on their own.

WHY DOES SCHOOL MAKE THIS SEEM SO DIFFICULT?

[@dynasyarifa3984]

I don't know either.. I think exactly the same 😭

[@rafiadchowdhury5340]

Because , lake of knowledge about finite and non finite verb😅😂

[@PandaEngene-vf4xj]

@rafiadchowdhury5340 lack*

[@azibiag5504]

Aby grabed the fallen leaves. The finite verb in the sentence is (grab) because if you want to change its form it can be " Aby grabs the fallen leaves" in this sentence the verb changes its form because it is now in present tense (grabs) and as you can see we didn't change the nonfinite verb (fallen) because it's a participle (past) which it cannot change the form of the subject. Is this correct? Can you tell me if there's anything i can change to make it correct?

[@Theolosophaire]

It's correct

[@leosoodan2715]

omg Tysm I was still confused after waiting the video now it’s so clear hats off 2 too tysm ur a life saver :))

[@TheJohanna94]

You said that non-finite verbs can't be the main verb of a sentence but as far as I know, auxiliaries usually precede the main verb. So which are the main verbs in the last three sentences where non-finite verbs act as participles?

[@marleenxx5]

I think you are right: My English textbook has the following example listed: Jeremy is laughing. Here, the main verb is the ing- form of „laugh“, with „is“ being an auxiliary. Here, „is“ is finite, while „laughing“ is not. Meaning here, the non-finite verb „laughing“ is the main verb.

[@pollynlyubenova8365]

Ok but if the main verb in the sentence is always finite and auxilary verbs are verbs that help the main verb in describing action then in the sentence "I have decided to leave" which verb is the main one since "decided" is non-finite and "have" is auxilary?

[@LilFroggoXD]

Thanks a lot! Tomorrow is my exam and now I'm totally clear about the concept. Now sure I'll score good marks!

If the finite verb is the main verb of the sentence, I'm a little bit confused that in the case of the present continuous tense which one will be the main verb? Ex: I am working

[@fathimathabisha9867]

Am working

[@yigitcan824]

Teacher,I don't understand sth. Why are some participles as an adjectives shown in the dictionaries ? I mean for example, The results are worrying* or The worrying* results are confirmed ------>worrying is shown in every dictionary as an adjective. But The barking dogs kept me awake all night.-------> barking is not shown Both of them participle are acting as adjectives, but just one of them is shown. I'd really appreciate it.
