Pengertian, Macam, dan Latihan Soal Finite dan Non-finite Verbs

Pengertian

Verb (kata kerja) dapat digolongkan menjadi finite dan non-finite. Berikut ini merupakan pengertian dari finite dan non-finite verbs.

Finite verbs

Finite verbs merupakan suatu bentuk kata kerja yang mengandung tenses: present atau past, dipengaruhi oleh agreement dengan subjeknya, juga dipengaruhi oleh number atau jumlah (singular/plural).

contoh:

  • She goes to school.
    → kata goes merupakan finite verb karena digunakan dalam present tense dan terikat dengan subject she

Non-finite verbs

Non-finite verbs merupakan kebalikan dari Finite verbs, yaitu suatu bentuk kata kerja yang tidak mengandung tenses: present atau past.

Non-finite verbs tidak dapat berdiri sendiri seperti finite verb, oleh karenanya non-finite verb bisa diubah menjadi kata kerja yang berbentuk sebagai participle, gerund, infinitive (to  dan bare).

contoh:

  • She asked me to send this letter.
    → kata to send merupakan non-finite verb karena tidak terikat tenses, juga memiliki tambahan particle to yang merupakan bentuk to infinitive
