GRADE 9: FOURTH QUARTER

Prepared By: Ms. Hensy


A verbal is a verb form that does not
function as a verb. Verbals function as
nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
THREE TYPES OF VERBALS
GERUNDS
PARTICIPLES
INFINITIVES
Gerunds are verbals that end in -ing and
function as nouns.
EXs:
Jumping is fun.
Cooking is essential.
A participle is a verb that ends in -ing
(present participle) or -ed, -d, -t, -en, -n
(past participle).
Participles may function as adjectives,
describing or modifying nouns.
EXs:
Where is the broken chair?
The dancing parrots entertained the crowd.
The wrecked sailboat washed up on shore.
The infinitive is the base form of a verb
with to.
Usually it functions as a noun, although it
can also function as an adjective or adverb.
EXs:
Jack is going home to vote.
She had a suggestion to offer
He called to warn her.
