Finite and Nonfinite Verbs

In this lesson, you will learn to

  • Recognize finite verbs and understand how they form the core of complete sentences
  • Identify nonfinite verbs (like to- infinitives, -ing participles, and past participles) and understand how they differ from finite verbs
  • Spot and fix sentence fragments that lack finite verbs
  • Use a strategy called the Matthew's Verb Form Strategy to solve DSAT-style verb form questions
📝 NoteThis lesson lays the foundation for what comes later. Yes, it can be a bit tricky and technical, but your hard work will pay off later. If you need help, you can watch my explanation video on YouTube. ~Matthew
