English I English Language Arts and Reading Unit: 01 Lesson: 01 Verbals Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles______________________________________ Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles are known as Verbals. Verbals are verb forms used as another part of speech. Verbal - a phrase using verbs as nonverbs; there are three types of verbals: • Gerund - a word derived from a verb ending in -ing that is used as a noun (e.g., reading is fun) • Infinitive - the uninflected or base form of the verb, usually preceded by to (e.g., to go) • Participle - a verb form incorporating the use of -ed or -ing for regular verbs and using the third principle part of the verb for irregular verbs. These verb forms are used to form the progressive tenses (e.g., speaking in Jim was speaking) or to serve as modifiers (e.g., writing in the writing assignment). Present participle - verbs ending in -ing (The crying baby was hungry.) Past Participle - regular or irregular verbs written in past tense form (e.g., a chained prisoner, a written letter, a sunken ship.) Directions: Label these sentences using the proper verbals term from above. You must make sure you explain why. Example: I like swimming the best. Swimming is a gerund used as the direct object in the sentence. • The running water flooded the basement. • To run every day is good for your health. • Running is good exercise.
