So I will be reporting things about verbals, it was nerve-wrecking tho but I need to finish this one and do my best to explain things to my class.
A verbal is a verb form which functions as a noun or an adjective. there are three kinds of verbals: gerund, infinitives and participle.
Gerund are verbs that functions as a noun, they are easy to spot since every gerund ends with -ing. they can be used as subject of the sentence, after a preposition, after phrasal verb, in compound noun and as a direct object.
[verb] + -ing = Gerund
Participles are verbs used as adjective. there are two types of participles: Present (ending in -ing)and Past (ends with -ed -d -t -en - or -n)
[verb] + -ing = Present
[verb] +-ed -d -t -en - or -n = Past
* You might be confused by Gerund and Present participle, they differ in usage. Gerund were used as a noun while Present Participle functions as an adjective.
Infinitives will almost began with to- followed by a simple form verb but there are special cases wherein to- is removed when it follows this thing called special verbs like feel, help, let, make, see and watch .
to- + [verb] = Infinitives
* There is this Split infinitives wherein to is separated to its partner(verb)
to+adjective+verb= split infinitives
So that's it you Guys, I hope I helped you with your Grammar Stuffs
Hope to see you on my next one. Bye :)
