OpenStudy (anonymous):

"to win" is an infinite and "win" is an adverb

OpenStudy (breegan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an infinite is a verb form that usually begins with "to". it is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the function of the verbal in the sentence? My goal is to skydive over the Grand Canyon. It is used as a noun. It is used as a verb. It is used as an adverb. It is used as an adjective. I believe it is Verb, but I put that last time, and got it wrong...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Verbals include participles, participle phrases, infinite, and infinite phrases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a participle is a verb form that is used as an adjetive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PARTICIPLES Verb: move Present Participle: Moving Past Participle: Moved

OpenStudy (breegan):

Okey, so adjective?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We were to near that SNARLING coyote snarling is the Present participle because you ask "which one" or "what kind"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and a participle takes the place of an adjective

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gtg soon so ima just give you the rundown of it all

OpenStudy (breegan):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is very easy to confuse a participle with a verb of a sentence because a participle is a form of a verb and looks very much like a verb. However to be a verb, a participle must always have one or more helping verbs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Participle : the GLOWING lights up ahead were bright. glowing is the participle modifing the word "lights"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Verb: the tiny candles WERE GLOWING in the dark room. The word "glowing" has the helping verb of "were" which makes "glowing" a verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when a verb doesn't have 1 ore more helping verbs, it is a participle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinives ARE SOOOOOOOOOO EASY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinitives*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its basicly the word "to" then another word, and what ever type of word that "other word" is that is what kind of infinitive it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i mean WHAT EVER TYPE OF WORD THE INFINITIVE TAKES THE PLACE OF that is what type of infinitive it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so "to relax" takes place of a noun "to shop" also noun "to see" is adjective "to plan" "to eat" are both adverbs

OpenStudy (breegan):

So for the sleeping one, is there a helping verb? if so would it be Rather?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Infinitive or Preposition Phrase? SUPER QUICK AND EZ

OpenStudy (breegan):

Identify the verbal and its function in the sentence: I would rather be sleeping! It is a gerund functioning as a noun. It is a gerund functioning as a verb. It is an infinitive functioning as a noun. It is an infinitive functioning as a verb. Just realized i didn't post this one..

OpenStudy (breegan):

OKEY OKEY THAT ONE IS A GERUND!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the "infinitive" has a noun in it IT IS NOT A INFINITIVE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gtg

OpenStudy (breegan):
