What to Focus On

  • Non-finite verbs do not change with the subject.
  • To-verbs and -ing forms are non-finites.
  • There are three groups: infinitive, participle, gerund.

  • The infinitive is the to-verb.
  • It may appear with to or without to.
  • Present infinitive and perfect infinitive are two forms.

  • agree, decide, fail, forget, hope, learn, offer, plan, promise, refuse + to-infinitive
  • seem, appear, claim + to-infinitive
  • question word + to-infinitive is used after several verbs

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any verb ending in -ing is a gerund.

The infinitive always means to + verb, so a verb without to is not an infinitive.

Dare and need always take the same form in every sentence.

Memory Tips

Non-finite verbs stay the same form whatever the subject is

Non-finites include infinitive, participle, and gerund

Infinitive is also called the to-verb

Present infinitive examples
