A non-finite verb (also known as a verbal) is the term used to describe a verb that does not indicate tense. The non-finite verbs are called gerunds, infinitives, and participles.

Finite verbs change tense and number according to the subject. 

Example:

Arun invited Suresh to his daughter’s birthday. 

Her friends presented the girl with a toy. 

His friend presented a watch. 

Non-finite verbs have no subject and do not change according to the tense or number. 

Non-finite verbs are broadly classified as follows: 

Example:

i. Gerunds - Walking is a healthy habit (Present participle used as a noun) 

ii. Infinitive -I like to walk early in the morning. (to infinitive) 

iii. Present participle -These are my walking shoes. (Present participle used as an adjective) 

iv. Past participle - Having walked a long distance I felt tired
