to catch the poor - infinitive

Catch is in the infinitive form because it is before to. An infinitive is when the main form of the verb is preceded by the word to. Similar to a main verb, it expresses an action.

covered with ancient artwork - participle

A participle phrase begins with a verb and often can include other modifiers. A participle is used as an adjective in the sentence. In this sentence, "covered with ancient artwork" is used to describe the walls.

A gerund is a verb that is used as a noun in a sentence. A gerund often ends in -ing. For example, Swimming is my favorite sport. In this sentence no one is actually doing the action of swimming. Swimming is a thing/sport in this sentence.

Which word in the sentence is the direct object?
My name is Ann [436]
The answer is B, movie. "Action" is used as an adjective here, so it cannot be an object when there is no noun present. "Saw" is a verb. "I" is the subject, so the only remaining option is B, movie. The question to easily determine what the object is would be "What did you see?" And the answer would be "A movie".
