Kinds of verbs (basically two most important verbs)

Sentences required to alter/change for

transformation of sentences.
Finite Verb: Verbs which change according to the number
and person of subject
NB: Every sentence must have a finite verb. In other words,
no sentence is constructed without a finite verb. There may
have more than one non-finite verb but finite verb must be
one in simple sentence.
Example: You go to college every day.
Helal does not go to College every day.
Non-finite Verb: Verbs which do not change according to the
number and person of the subject are called non-finite verbs.
Example: You go to College to attend the classes.
Hasan will go to College to attend his classes.
Non-finite verbs are again divided into more three kinds.
These verbs are very important to learn different sentences.

They are: 1. Gerund ( verbal noun)

2. Infinitive ( verbal noun)
3. Participle ( verbal adjective )
Gerund : Structure :- V(1)+ing
Example: Belal is fond of reading.
Walking is a good exercise.
Infinitive: Structures:- to + V(1)
Example: Belal likes to play cricket.
To see means to believe.
Participles( Verbal adjective):
Three kinds 1.Present Participle ( V(1)+ing)
Ex: Helal saw some farmers working in the field.
2. Past Participle ( V(3)
Ex:Belal found some people involved in a fight.
3. Perfect Participle (having +v3)
Ex: Having taken some money,Helal went to market. (

used as a unit within a sentence (no subject and
no verb)
