Finite verbs show agreement with a subject and are marked for tense, unlike nonfinite verbs . A finite verb can stand alone as the main verb of an independent clause or a full sentence. Finite verbs often change form to show past or present tense and follow or surround their subjects. This lesson covers finite verbs and non- finite verbs . You will learn what a finite verb is and how it differs from a non- finite verb . The lesson includes example sentences to help clarify the concepts.
