 USE OF
VERBALS
What Are Verbals? A verbal is a verb form that does not
function as a verb. Verbals function as nouns, adjectives, or
adverbs. There are three types of verbal:
1.Gerunds
A gerund is a form of a verb that ends in -ing that is used as a
noun.
• Cooking is an essential skill.
("Cooking" is a gerund from the verb "to cook." In this
example, it is functioning as a noun.)
2.Participles
A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present participle) or -ed, -d, -
t, -en, -n (past participle). Participles may function as adjectives,
describing or modifying nouns.
There are two types of participle (past participles and present
participles).
• Where is the broken chair? ("Broken" is the past participle of the
verb "to break". In this example, it is functioning as an adjective.)
• Where is the boiling water? ("Boiling" is the present participle of
the verb "to boil". It is also functioning as an adjective.)
3.Infinitives
• Jack is going home to vote.
("To vote" is the infinitive form of the verb "to vote." In this example,
it is functioning as an adverb telling us why Jack is going home.)
 VERBALS
(INFINITIVES)
An infinitive is a verbal which is formed by placing to in
front of the simple present form of a verb.
Examples:
to swim to think to read to be to cut
to turn

Infinitives may function as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns.

ADJECTIVAL
INFINITIVES
Just like a single-word adjective, an infinitive used as an adjective
always describes a noun.
An adjectival infinitive always follows the noun it describes.
Example:
Like gerunds and participles, infinitives may incorporate other words
as part of their phrase.
Example:
Example:
·It is an appropriate saving to propose.
(The infinitive modifies "saving." This means it is functioning as an
adjective.)
Compare it to this:
·It is an appropriate saving that he proposed.
(The clause "that he proposed" is an adjective clause. This proves that
the infinitive "to propose" is being used as an adjective.)
