About this document
Understanding Verbals: Gerunds, Participles, Infinitives by John Leo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses three types of verbals: gerunds, participles, and infinitives. It provides examples of how each functions in a sentence. Gerunds end in "-ing" and can act as subjects, objects, or objects of prepositions. Participles also end in "-ing" or "-ed" and are used as adjectives. Infinitives consist of "to" plus a verb stem and can serve as subjects, objects, complements, adjectives, or adverbs. The document helps distinguish infinitives from prepositional phrases beginning with "to".
