Verbs

An infinitive verb, or a non-finite verb, is the basic form of a verb that presents an action as an idea or a concept rather than the specific action of a subject. An infinitive verb often follows the word “to” (as in “to walk”). Infinitive: They returned (^) to complete (^) the task. To break the record was his sole motivation.

The past simple is used for sentences in which the idea, act or state has already been completed. It could have ended five minutes ago or five centuries ago, the time of completion does not matter, the only important thing is that we are talking about something that no longer happens or exists in the present. VERBS PAST SIMPLE:

STRUCTURE:

1. Affirmative Sentences SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT…
2. Negative Sentences SUBEJCT + DIDN'T + VERB…
3. INTERROGATIVE Sentences DID + SUBJECT + VERB?...

The past participle is used in specific tenses like:

1. Perfect tenses: present, past or future.
   2. Passive voice.
2. Wishes and unreal past.
3. Conditional type 3 USES The house was built in 1654. He has broken his leg.

In the past participle, as in the simple past, the regular verbs are built by adding -ed, at the end of the verb. Be careful to follow some of these rules, when adding the past ending: With regular verbs:

A gerund is the form of a verb that ends with the letters “ing”. Such words act like a noun. For example, in the sentence "I love learning," the word "learning" is a gerund. Gerund verbs

To turn a verb into a gerund, all you need to do is add -ing to the base form of a verb. When making a gerund, there are a few things to watch out for:

• If a verb ends in -ie, replace it with –y before adding -ing as in dying (die). Function: - Unless a verb ends in -ee or -ie, we drop the final -e in a verb before adding -ing as in joking.
• If a verb ends in -ee, add -ing like normal as in agreeing, fleeing, and seeing.
