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.

[@natasjaengelbrecht9881]

Excellent! Been using this with my students for years. Perfect for primary school learners right through to English teachers!

[@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 :))

[@zmath05]

Insanely grateful, feeling literally ecstatic after watching this video Keep going, brother........

[@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.

"Decided" In 3:15, 5th example is supposed to be a finite verb also

[@kashvineeli3763]

1:31 So a finite verb can be a main verb in a sentence?

hi! i just saw your video and loved it. only question, in the last example "She is releasing a new album next week" you highlight only the non finite but what about "is"? thanks!

[@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?

[@sentisenlajamir1019]

Good clear and simple. Thank you so much.

Sir in participles explain in last example there is decided give this is a finte verb
