Definition
In grammar, 'non-finite' refers to verb forms that don't show tense, person, or number. 🤓 Think of them as verb building blocks that need extra help to function as the main verb in a sentence. They can't stand alone and express a complete action in the present, past, or future. Examples include infinitives ('to run'), participles ('running', 'run'), and gerunds ('running'). They're versatile but require supporting verbs or structures to create a full thought. Consider them like ingredients waiting for a chef to prepare a complete dish.
