Learn and Practise Finite and Non Finite Verb

Finite verbs show tense, person, and number. They agree with the subject and can stand alone as the main verb in a sentence. Examples: goes, sang, is, was, have, does. They change form based on the subject (I go, she goes).
Non-finite verbs do not show tense, person, or number. They cannot be the main verb alone. They include infinitives (to + verb), gerunds (-ing), and participles (-ed/-ing). Examples: to go, going, gone, to sing, singing, eaten. Non-finites often work with auxiliary verbs or function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs in sentences.
