**Finite and Non-finite Verbs**

In English grammar, verbs are classified into two main categories: finite verbs and non-finite verbs.

* **Finite verbs** are those that agree with the subject in number and person. They also indicate
tense, mood, and voice. For example, in the sentence "I am writing a letter," the verb "am writing" is a
finite verb. It agrees with the subject "I" in number (singular) and person (first person). It also
indicates the present progressive tense.

* **Non-finite verbs** do not agree with the subject in number and person. They do not indicate
tense, mood, or voice. For example, in the sentence "I like to write letters," the verb "to write" is a
non-finite verb. It does not agree with the subject "I" in number or person. It also does not indicate
tense, mood, or voice.

There are three types of non-finite verbs:

* **Infinitives** are the base form of a verb, preceded by the word "to." For example, "to write" is an
infinitive.
* **Gerunds** are verbs that are used as nouns. They are formed by adding "-ing" to the base form
of a verb. For example, "writing" is a gerund.
* **Participles** are verbs that are used as adjectives. They are formed by adding "-ing" (present
participle) or "-ed" (past participle) to the base form of a verb. For example, "writing" (present
participle) and "written" (past participle) are participles.

**One Word for Many**

In English, there are many words that can be used as both finite and non-finite verbs. For example,
the word "can" can be used as a finite verb (e.g., "I can speak English") or as a non-finite verb (e.g., "I
am able to speak English").

Other examples of words that can be used as both finite and non-finite verbs include:

* will/would
* may/might
* must
* shall/should
* do/does/did

**Examples**

* Finite verb: I **will** go to the store.

* Non-finite verb: I **want** to go to the store.

* Finite verb: She **can** speak French.

* Non-finite verb: She **is able** to speak French.

* Finite verb: He **must** leave early.

* Non-finite verb: He **has** to leave early.

By understanding the difference between finite and non-finite verbs, students can improve their
understanding of English grammar.
