Participles
A participle is a verb added by
–ed and
–ing. For example, work add with
–ing to
form the word working. The
–ing form is an active adjective and the
–ed form is a passive
adjective. Now, we can look the other ways:
-ing form : his mother is working in
a factory
-past participle : i was bored by the lecture
Infinitives
An infinitive is a verb with
“to”. we call such a phrase a To-infinitive and
represent it: to +verb. For example: they allowed the children to leave school early.
An infinitive
phrase without to is called a “bare infinitive’’ and we simply
represent it: verb. For example: they let the children leave school early.
