Identify the non-finite verb forms in this sentence: 1. She was looking for her sister.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Looking (#1)

Explanation:

Non-finite Verb

  • Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
  • Non-finite verbs Include participles, Infinitives, gerunds, other verbs that don't change form when the subject changes.

Participle

  • A verbal that is used as an adjective, describes a noun or pronoun, present participles always end in -ing, past participles usually end in -ed.

Gerund

  • verb form acting as a noun - always ends in -ing.

Infinitive

  • a verb form that is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb and is typically preceded by the word to.

Continuation:

Word: She (Pronoun)

  • She is a pronoun. It's a noun that refers to another noun or noun phrase anaphorically, although it can't be preceded by a determiner and seldom accepts an attributive adjective. In English, examples are I, you, he, who, me, mine, and so on. It can also be used as a subjective or nominative pronoun. It is most commonly used to begin a statement. It is, however, rarely used as a noun.

Word: Was (Linking Verb)

  • The word "was" is a verb, more precisely a linking verb, since it connects the subject to the section of the sentence that offers further information about the topic. Furthermore, this form of the verb "to be" represents a state of being.

Word: Looking (Present Participle)

  • Looking is the present participle of look. A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) and serves as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase is made up of a participle and one or more modifiers, objects, and/or complements (s).

Word: For (Preposition)

  • When used to signify the usage of something, the place where an object or person is going, or the period of time, the word "for" is defined as a preposition.

Word: Her (Pronoun)

  • Her is a pronoun in the third person singular. Her is the subject or object of a verb or a preposition. Her is a possessive determiner as well. You refer to a lady, a girl, or a feminine animal with her.

Word: Sister (Noun)

  • This word is referring to someone's/something's female sibling. This word is a noun because a word that is a person, place, or thing is classified as this part of speech. The noun sister can be used as either a proper or common noun.
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. After looking through this sentence, we can come to one conclusion. Since looking ends in -ing, it is classified as a gerund. Therefore, the word <u><em>looking</em></u> is a non-finite verb.
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the other words in the sentence are not considered or classified as non-finite verb as their word classifications do not match those of the description/definition given of what a non-finite verb is.

  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

She was <u>looking</u> for her sister.

  • NOTE:  Verbs with tense are finite, and verbs without tense are nonfinite.

Read this excerpt from "Close Encounters of the Bear Kind" by Susan E. Quinlan.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The U.S. Army wants to locate bears that have dens on their training grounds. It hired John, a biologist in Alaska, to find out where the bears hibernate.

Explanation:

A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing, such as a paragraph, excerpt, chapter, or an entire book. It should include the main ideas of the text and only the most important details.

The option that fulfills these criteria is the first one. It summarizes what the text is about - about how the U.S. Army wants to locate bears that have dens on their training ground and how it hired a biologist named John to find them. The main point is covered and there are no unnecessary details.

The second option is the second best. However, it doesn't include some important details - the location and the name of the biologist.

The third and fourth options are incorrect because they include too much detail.
