Finite Verb

Finite verb is a verb that is inflected for person and for tense according to the
rules and categories of the languages in which it occurs. Finite verbs can form
independent clauses, which can stand by their own as complete sentences.

The finite forms of a verb are the forms where the verbs shows tense, person or
singular plural.
Non finite verb forms haven’t person , tense or number.
I go, she goes, he went – These verb forms are finite.
To go, going, gone – These verb forms are non – finite.
In English, as in most related languages, only verbs in certain moods are finite.
These include :
Ø The indicated mood (expressing a state of affairs); e.g “The bulldozer demolished the
restaurant,” “The leaves were yellow and stiff.”
Ø The imperative mood (giving a command).
Ø The subjunctive mood (expressing something that might or might not be the state of affairs, depending on some other part of the sentence).

Verb forms that are not finite include :

Ø The infinitive
Ø Participles (e.g “The broken window...”, “The wheezing gentlemen...”)
Ø Gerunds

In linguistics, a non finite verb (or a verbal) is a verb form that is not limited by a subject and, more generally, is not fully inflected by categories that are marked
inflectionally in language, such as tense, aspect, mood, number, gender and person.
As a result, a non finite verb cannot generally serve as the main verb in an independent clause; rather, it heads a non-finite clause.

Example :
One day she heard her uncle and aunt talking about leaving Snow White in the castle because they both wanted to go to America and they didn’t have enough money to take Snow White.

Ket. Huruf miring merupakan finite verb
Garis bawah merupakan non-finite verb

(-) S + will + NOT + Vi + O/C
(?) Will + S + Vi + O/C [?]

(-) You will not help him later
(?) Will you help him later ?

Form “Be Going To”

(?) To be + S + going to + Vi + O/C [?]

(+) You are going to meet Jane tonight
(-) You are not going to meet Jane tonight
(?) Are you going to meet Jane tonight ?

IMPORTANT !!

In the simple future tense, it is not always clear which use the speaker has in mind. Often, there is more than one way to interpret a sentence’s meaning.

Adverb Placement

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as, always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc.

Examples :
. You will never help him.
. Will you ever help him ?
. You are never going to meet Jane.
. Are you ever going to meet Jane ?

Active / Passive

Examples :
. John will finish the work by 5.00 p.m. (active)
. The work will be finished by 5.00 p.m. (passive)
. Sally is going to make a beautiful dinner tonight. (active)
. A beautiful dinner is going to be made by Sally tonight. (passive)

Passive Voice

Use of Passive voice

Passive Voice is used when the focus in on the action. It is not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example : My bike was stolen.

In the example above, the focus on the fact that my bike was stolen. I don’t know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows :

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I don’t blame anyone (e.g You have made a mistake).

Form of Passive

S + Finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd coloumn of irregular verbs)

Example : A letter was written.

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following :
The object of the active sentence becomes the subjects of the passive sentence the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle).
The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped).
